As a friend and colleague I tremendously valued Pierre Sollier's work with the Tomatis Method, and witnessed the elaborate process of writing "Listening for Wellness". Having had, like Pierre, Dr. Alfred Tomatis as my trainer and mentor, I can assert that this is the most in depth book about Dr. Tomatis' theories, methods, treatment strategies, and human development philosophy.

With this unique book Pierre establishes himself as a master of introducing any reader with ease and clarity to the complexity of the Tomatis Method. He illustrates the multiple facets of the Tomatis Method and its applications in education and healing, from the perspective of an exceptional practitioner and therapist. Pierre forcefully sets the stage for understanding that this method has great implications in both human excellence and well being, as well as in ameliorating and healing a number of problems.

In 1967 I was the the first person to use the Tomatis Electronic Ear in the United States at a time when the concept was truly "beyond the pale" in the Boston area.. I have known Pierre Sollier since the early 1990s. Although I have learned a great deal about this method over the years, I have eagerly awaited his book. Because of his rich association with Alfred Toamtis and his ability to translate his books, he is able to offer us insight that few others could have done or would have had the patience, perseverance and inclination to attempt. His book helps review what I know and has added immeasurably to my understanding. Having spent time helping out in Pierre's Californai center, I have known of Pierre's deep respect for all his clients and his joy in the work.. That approach and dedication shines forth in this extraordinary book. Elizabeth Verrill,

Tomatis Providor values this book

I have read many books written by Dr. Tomatis and have learned so much from them. I then read Pierre Sollier's book Listening for Wellness and was so surprised at the educational value of the book. I am a Tomatis Therapist and I am always trying to learn more about the Method. Pierre's book was concise, to the point, interesting, educational and revealing as to the basis for the Tomatis Method, how to evaluate a person for the Method, how to plan the treatment and what to expect from the treatment. It is easy to read for parents who wish to continue to learn more about the Tomatis Method so I would recommend it for parents as well as professionals. I refer to the book often and would recommend it to any new Tomatis Method therapist who wants to continue the educational process. It is also a good value for the price and the printing of the book is excellent with sewn binding not glued so it will last forever. Angela Sallerson RCTC

Those of us who are familiar with the work of Dr. Alfred Tomatis have been waiting for this book for a long time. Finally, we have a comprehensive account of the fascinating work done by Tomatis and the science behind his theories. After working with the method myself for two years, I am thrilled that Mr. Sollier has given us a detailed yet readable account of the power of listening and the impact it has on all facets of our lives.
