Thread: Anger Management: Is Screaming Therapeutic for Women? (I Am Woman! Hear Me Roar!)

From Australia to the US, Sweden and India, scream therapy seems to be gaining ground with women. But the concept first advanced in 1970 by American psychologist Arthur Janov has left experts unimpressed


A new therapeutic practice seems to be gaining popularity among women – ritual raging.

Also known as scream therapy or primal therapy, everyone from students in Sweden to celebrities such as Kim Kardashian have given it a go.

But what is it? And how does it work?

Origin of concept, gaining popularity with women

As per Inverse.com, the concept was first advanced by American psychologist Arthur Janov in his 1970 book The Primal Scream: Primal Therapy, The Cure for Neurosis . . .

The newspaper noted that Janov delivering a lecture on one paper entitled ‘Revolution in Psychotherapy” to a group of psychologists saw 15 of them depart.

Professor Sascha Frühholz of the department of psychology at the University of Zurich told The Guardian, “In my opinion, there is no scientific evidence that primal scream therapy has any positive effects in the treatment of mental and psychological disorders. Given that modern psychotherapy is an evidence-based treatment approach, no serious psychotherapy school uses any elements of primal scream therapy today.”

I thought that’s why women get married, so they have a husband to scream at.


If scream therapy worked then my ex-wife and her mother would be the most mentally fit people on the planet.


women are flipping crazy. the biggest child in the room and she’s got the loaded gun. this is just a piece to legitimize more bad behavior. modern women are already the most insufferable to be around. never been more independent and competent and don’t need no man, yet never been more unhappy, clinically depressed and can’t get the man she wants to commit to her.


Just recently I noticed how many TV commercials and shows feature a woman screaming. Sometimes sitting alone in their car, sometimes in public, sometimes at home. It’s a theme I suddenly noticed popping up everywhere.


I think of a man and I take away reason and accountability... and add endless nagging and screaming! LOL

Sounds like a great way to fuck your throat up.

Also continue acting like a child.

Another case of "If men did this it would be considered aggressive and toxic".

I can hear the excuses now; I wasn't disturbing the peace at 300:AM your honor, I was in necessary therapy!

And you know she'll skate, giving her annoyed neighbors no option but to accommodate her all night screaming rampages or move out and sell their home at a loss because of all night screaming.

Some people may take a more drastic approach that would involve her disappearance.

When the law is anarchy, anarchy is the law...

I'm not an expert on mental health. I'm not in any way knowledgeable on the subject, but I do know this. The difference between a ground-breaking, innovative psychologist and a complete quack is a very, very fine line.

That's how I see it too. If scream therapy is so effective, then this world will get real loud fast, because women are all emotional-- look at the man cave sign I found above.

Haha. I know most everyone here agrees on marriage and cohabitation but the guys here who have never been married do not know the pure hell of marriage. It's knowing the most evil woman you can possibly imagine but you can't just get up and leave easily. Pure hell.
