Listening for Wellness: An Introduction to the Tomatis Method Paperback – June 1, 2005

I had all this tomatis training and it is fantastic .At the time I had read some theory in books published by A Tomatis - and i had a basic understanding but this book is excellent in explaining the basic concepts - even better than tomatis s own books.People with a basic knowledge of electronics , recording techniques, and even basic music training will especially appreciate the concepts .Also the therapeutic applications of the method are really great - you read the actual studies papers on line for further scientific validation,In general the the tomatis method, Tomatis insights are really advanced and scientifically based - the only problem is that the method is really expensive .....to experiment with ...(In googling for a less expensive but high quality versions of the tomatis approach - I discovered different devices or software for smartphones related with tomatis work- this is because the tomatis electronic ear patent expired most likely - )Anyhow the book explains very well the concepts and tomatis ideas with some clarifications and qualifications about autism and other disorders...If you are a musician also you will find this book fascinating -

As a voice teacher and choral director, this is a book I want to share with all my colleagues. This answers so many questions to why we must deal with some of the challenges of our singers. All school directors deal with the student who loves to sing and walks into the audition being unable to match or tune pitches. This book provides solid answers. As a director who laboriously voices each choir member for where his/her voice functions best in the choir, I always sensed that right- or left-ear preference made a huge difference in why singers' voices functioned better on one side or the other of another singer. This book puts everything into perspective. That a solution may be available to frustrated singers and teachers/directors is an amazing accomplishment! That there may be solutions to learning disabilities and other disabilities through listening therapy is even more amazing! I will share this book title with my choral colleagues.

A lucid and interesting presentation of the practical applications and implications of the Tomatis MethodI would have appreciated more on the background of Dr. Tomatis and the actual development of the work to better contextualise the evolution of the work, which is why I am giving this four not five stars. However, it is a very good introduction to the scope of the work and the rationale behind why it is effective, and I am looking forward to exploring the method for myself at a future point.

Sollier is an amazingly talented writer! I found myself fully immersed in his first hand experiences at The Tomatis Center. As if the subject matter of the Tomatis Method isn't fascinating enough. Then to find this MASTERPIECE of a book, written with such grace and beauty, it was almost like a spiritual experience for me. If you are interested in the workings of sound therapy you simply must include this book in you studies.

Listening for Wellness has nothing to do with listening to music for healing from disease or injury. It is a technical book about working with damaged children with dyslexia, ADD, autistic, delinquents, etc. It is useless for learning about healing music for health.The book is misrepresented. Tomatis knew about healing music we can use in our everyday lives and to heal illness and injury, but this book by Sollier is not about music to improve your health.I have asked the seller to accept it for return.

Quite helpful. Well written. Easy to understand. Great Intro / overview. Want him to write sequel to it. Drive deep into how EE filter / why used in various...training design...

This is a fantastic book. I really like the way it is written because it helps to understand each persons hearing and listening problems.

La versione Kindle è mancante di quasi tutte le ultime frasi di ciascun capitolo. Ci sono evidenti errori d'impaginazione parti mancanti o mal giustificate. Il fatto che manchino intere parti di testo è piuttosto grave
