Arthur Janov was a charismatic therapist who capitalized on the cultural mood of the time. His discovery of the primal scream was inspired by a patient's experience during a conventional psychoanalytic therapy session. The concept was born when Janov witnessed a performance called "Mommy, Daddy" by Raphael Montañez Ortiz in London in 1966. Janov's book "The Primal Scream" was published in the early 1970s, marking the beginning of Primal therapy.
