I like the way he moves. For someone his age, he moves around like someone young and supple. Interesting.

I think it says a lot that he has a very young voice, thick, full head of hair, still works, and he was born in.....'24.

I practiced Primal Thearapy on my own and although I won't give all of the details, I will say it is valid and helpful not only as a therapy but also as an awareness. As for this interview, what an amazing man. Robin

in clinics its different tho. its still a simulation of acceptance which the patient should believe to start getting his self work going. sometimes a 1 moment exp can change everything. like acid or dmt. sometimes people loop back to their previous neurotic states, because the support went away or cuz its easier being neurotic in this society[?]

2:46 - wow, an 87? year old man with a look fresher than most people i know.

an old body can die with a young soul, it doesnt even matter when - the most important thing is that the soul is alive. unlike young bodies with dead souls...

. i think it can work under the right conditions. picture a lonely man getting into a tribe with lots of true love and empathy from everybody around...a love that overcomes his depression and disbelief... will his system not urge him to cry, already?

[MrBabyhippopotamus]

Maybe he was right that humans with less trauma can live to 100 years! It's usually stress or its side effects that kills us in the end after all.

How old is Janov?

[MrBruce711]

I watched this again and I realized that the interviewer was biased in favor of primal therapy and was asking him questions he wanted to answer. Janov seems to think that feeling pain is the total cure instead of what the person remembers as to what happened which he has blocked and is acting out. How about all the letters he receives complaining about how primal therapy messed them up when it didn't work? His cures take decades and force the person to change relationships dramatically.

dr janov has obviously aged a lot since the video made at his clinic (see first video). I wonder what is going on? oh, if you look at the Janov Solution book it shows that Dr. Janov is described incorrectly as a psychiatrist,  wrote to them and told them and they said they would fix this-was it fixed???

[MrBruce711]

i wonder why janov laughed after she said "enjoy the book expo"?- was it because he was surprised that the interview was so positive for him, was it because she said to enjoy the book expo and she sought of missed the whole point about pain and such or was it because he wanted to say more?

[MrBruce711]

@Altermedicine could you explain more we would like to know since you went to janov
