Who is Alfred A. Tomatis?
The work of Alfred A. Tomatis, the French physician, psychologist, and
educator, has had a revolutionary impact on our understanding of the ear,
opening the way to a transformation of human listening and a breakthrough
in the improvement of learning, communication, language, music, creativity,
and self-esteem.
This is the first English translation of his famous autobiography, which has
sold over 50,000 copies in Europe. An intimate account of the life and work
of an indisputable genius and a veritable Renaissance man, it brings us up
close to both the personal and the scientific process of conscious change —
and the inevitable resistance to that change. The Tomatis Method, together
with his patented invention called the "Electronic Ear," has achieved considerable
recognition in Europe where his theories and method have generated
both controversy and acclaim. Dr. Tomatis brings to bear the discoveries of
many domains: education, psychology, audiology, speech/ language, medicine,
intrauterine life, music (including music therapy), and engineering. He
addresses some of the most difficult therapeutic/educational problems now
facing us, such as stuttering, autism, dyslexia, motivation, balance, and motorcontrol
integration, and shows how they are affected and controlled by the
ear.
The Tomatis Method is used in over 180 facilities in 15 different countries.
Children, adolescents, and adults experiencing language, learning and communication
difficulties from very mild to severe have benefited from this
method.
