| | Book Review - The Biology of Love by Arthur Janov |
 | | Janov continues to praise Freud's hydraulic model and to denigrate dreams and, with less emphasis on curing neurosis, concedes that "reliving normalizes." One surprise, though, is the absolute omission of "brain maps," the celebrated centerpiece of his last book (Janov, 1996). |
 | | Janov doesn't start with "original pain," and won't let patients go into feelings he deems "too strong." He claims that he isn't looking for birth trauma, nor is he expecting to find it. |
 | | Janov still has a habit of speaking in absolutes and extremes, which traditionally come across in his warnings, miraculous testimonials and claims of therapeutic superiority. |
