SUMMARYThe author[ traces the beginnings of Primal Therapy back to Charcot and follows the development of regressive therapy to the 70's when Janov's "Primal Scream" brought to lay people an awareness of past events that influence their "here and now lives". As people moved back to childhood experiences, some were finding their root traumas in .the birth stages - opening the therapeutic community to develop the whole person as transpersonal levels were experienced. Stanislov Grof s "Realms of the Human Unconscious" advances his concept of the four stages of birth (BPM I-IV), in which he describes the traumas in these stages and their spiritual counterpart as an important intersection between psychology and religion, culminating in release from guilt, permitting true forgiveness. Finally, the importance of the therapist being sensitive to all facets of the person when working with them and continuing work on their lown growth and awarenesses emphasized.

ABSTRACT For battered women, leaving the home and spending time in a shelter is only the first step of a long process of change that usually involves periodic crises. A support group has been set up to help these women establish new ways to relate with the outside world, ways that are meant to assist them in successfully going through this difficult phase of their lives. Based on Lifton's principles of affinity, presence and consolidation (1976), the authors highlight the value of reciprocity in the therapeutical relationship. In addition, the authors discuss issues relating to the main points affecting interventions with battered women who have spent time in a shelter.
