Reviews
“For
thousands of years, from the ashram to
the consulting room, attention has been
used to cultivate inner states of
tranquility and meditation. Now, using a
simple reflex arc, Dr. Mastria has
enabled practically anyone to
effortlessly promote these states
throughout the day. Dr. Mastria’s
Attention Training should benefit anyone
seeking to calm their nerves and attain
greater peace of mind.”--David J. Grandcolas, Ph.D.
“Mastria’s ‘Back to Basics’ approach to psychological problems
and their treatment is brilliant in its
simplicity and represents a radical
departure from orthodox psychological
theory. It should appeal to anyone who
has lost faith in the efficacy of
traditional psychological treatments.”--Erich Labouvie, Ph.D. - Rutgers
University
“Dr.
Mastria has developed a unique method
for dealing with a vast array of
psychological difficulties. The
principal quality of his work is marked
by an elegant return to that which is
fundamental. Because of the refreshingly
unencumbered approach, Attention
Training will appeal to virtually
everyone.” -- James J. Ferretti, MD -
Psychiatry, Jersey City
