Spring is well upon us. Spring is a time of renewal and growth -- a
time to look forward to potential growth and future harvest. This past year has been a significant year for the ACO but also a time of upheaval in our country, our economy and the world.
The remarkable thing is that the framework of the science of orgonomy that began with Wilhelm Reich’s insights as early as the 1920s can clarify so much of what we see today. We know that the alternating expansion and contraction of pulsation that we individually experience as pleasure and anxiety, and emotionally in love and fear, is also the basis of every biological process from the beating of the heart, to breathing, to the movement of the intestines. Biological pulsation also underlies social processes and social cycles including the alternating expansion and contraction of economic cycles.

Depression, compulsive behavior, ADHD, and a range of anxiety related problems face so many of us. While medical orgone therapy can relieve symptoms, its true aim is getting to the root cause of issues that rob so many lives of happiness. Modern psychiatry too often relies on psychopharmacology – where feelings are
classified as disease, given a name and subsequently treated with medication. Medical orgone therapy seeks to alleviate trauma and remove the emotional blocks from which stem all kinds of suffering -- working toward a real and lasting cure – while getting patients off all psychiatric medication where possible (or to the lowest possible dose necessary).

The newborn is exposed to trauma from the moment of birth -- and we now know that these experiences are never forgotten, but rather they are locked in the armor. Reich's therapy with adults, and his interest in preventing disease, led him to focus on children, primarily the newborn. He believed that nothing was more important than understanding how the environment impacts infant children.

Medical orgone therapy is a unique mind-body method of treating emotional illnesses, and it has also proven valuable in relieving certain physical conditions. The treatment incorporates a verbal aspect, character analysis, combined with a physical approach, one that facilitates the release of repressed emotions. Sadness and anger are two examples of emotions that can surface in the course of a session. Feelings that arise are allowed expression, and they are always under the control of the treating psychiatrist.

Wilhelm Reich (1897 - 1957) discovered a form of energy that he called "orgone” and asserted that this energy -- which has either been mystified through the ages or rejected outright by modern-day scientists -- could be found within all living things and even throughout the cosmos.
Reich entered the University of Vienna medical school in 1918 where he was drawn to the work of Sigmund Freud. He quickly became highly respected as a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst.
