The Conscious Ear: My Life of Transformation Through Listening

Book by Alfred A. Tomatis

This autobiography by the French physician and ear specialist whose work has had a major impact on dyslexia and other learning disorders was originally published in French (1977). The Tomatis Method, which helps develop listening and communication skills, is used in 15 different countries. Tomatis addresses his experience with some of the most difficult therapeutic and educational problems (e.g., stuttering, autism, dyslexia, balance, motor control, and integration) and shows how they are affected and controlled by the ear. His account will be welcomed by speech therapists, performing artists, educators, and psychotherapists. Recommended.
