About the Authors
Based on his rich and practical experiences in the fields of acting and psychology, Al J. Scaglione shares in his book his 25-year journey of discovery, culminating in this new and unique approach to teaching men (and women) how to express and release feelings creating a healthier society. Mr. Scaglione began his acting career dying in Godfather 1 and appeared in numerous film and television productions. In 1971, at the prodding of his mentor, he opened his first acting studio in Carnegie Hall, New York City. His unique approach to teaching brought him an invitation to apply these very same techniques in a therapeutic environment. He subsequently became the executive director and Vice-President of the New York Community for Intensive Therapy for the next four years. Since his arrival in California in 1976, he has been the Artistic Director of the Los Angeles Studio for the Performing Arts. Currently, he is coaching privately in Westwood Village, California.
Philip S. Shore, M.D., Ph.D. brings a wealth of medical knowledge and training to the project, validating its principles and strategies for learning to express and feel one's feelings and creating a healthier person. Dr. Shore's educational training includes a Bachelor's of Science Degree in biology and education, a Master's Degree in neuroscience and a Ph.D. in cardiovascular medicine. He has conducted and published research on "The Negative Influence of Stress on the Heart." This award-winning research has focused on various behavioral biofeedback and exercise therapies that correct cardiovascular disorders that result from stress. Dr. Shore obtained his medical degree and training in Family Practice at the Ohio State University. He is the former Chief of the Family Medicine Department at Granada Hills Hospital. He is currently Chief of the Department of Ethics at Northridge Medical Hospital.
