This podcast features the care of patients by the ACO doctors who practice a different kind of psychiatry.
Medications address symptoms, but not their underlying cause. For most people, the word “psychiatrist” conjures up a doctor who prescribes medications for a biochemical mental disorder. The American College of Orgonomy (ACO) trains psychiatrists in medical orgone therapy, a unique approach that focuses on helping you achieve the best way to function not dependent on medication but by looking more deeply into what sets off your anxieties, fears and negative thinking.
Healthy expression is essential for satisfaction in life. Medical orgone therapists are trained to be keen observers of how people express themselves both verbally and with body language. They can help you become aware of and understand the consistent, automatic ways you handle your emotions—your individual character—and how that impacts your life. They also work with you to identify and express healthy aspects of your nature that can help you overcome your problems.
An awareness of the connection between mind and body forms a foundation for the therapeutic approach taught at the ACO. It addresses the underlying emotional reasons why some people are stiff-necked, tight-lipped, tight-assed, scatter-brained and a host of other ways that emotions are held and processed in the body. You may act out of rage or sadness and not even be aware that those feelings fuel your actions. To handle your emotions more constructively, this therapy improves your capacity for better contact with yourself.
We invite you to listen in on the therapy of some of our patients and see for yourself what's different about this kind of psychiatry.

Emotional-Energetic Contact: Essential for Effective Treatment
This episode features audio from one of the ACO case presentation series webinars, “Emotional-Energetic Contact: Essential for Effective Treatment" In this episode, Howard Chavis, M.D. gives an overview of Medical Orgone Therapy and discusses his patients and their treatment. Listen in to get a vivid picture of what emotional-energetic contact is all about and how it impacts the success of therapy.
“Emotion is the perception of energy flow and movement in the body.”
“What I’m describing by way of your own emotions and sensations is that the human organism expands and contract. It pulsates. And that this pulsation is a biologic phenomenon. It is not a poetic metaphor.”
“Reich referred to this way of thinking as functional thinking…this by the way is distinct from today’s pervasive mechanistic thinking which in the realm of technology and machines is completely rational, in the realm of the living, not at all.”

Problems of Childhood Self-Regulation in an Age of Permissiveness: Journal of Orgonomy Article
This episode features the narration of the article Problems of Childhood Self-Regulation in an Age of Permissiveness by Peter A. Crist, M.D. reprinted in the Journal of Orgonomy Volume 46 number 2. Originally published in Volume 33 in 1999, Dr. Crist's article is even more applicable today as parenting has become increasingly indulgent in today's anti-authority social environment. We hope you'll share this important information with parents and educators so that those responsible for child-care can have a functional perspective, free of both moralism and an “anything goes” lenient approach.

This podcast features the care of patients by the ACO doctors who practice a different kind of psychiatry.
Medications address symptoms, but not their underlying cause. For most people, the word “psychiatrist” conjures up a doctor who prescribes medications for a biochemical mental disorder. The American College of Orgonomy (ACO) trains psychiatrists in medical orgone therapy, a unique approach that focuses on helping you achieve the best way to function not dependent on medication but by looking more deeply into what sets off your anxieties, fears and negative thinking.
Healthy expression is essential for satisfaction in life. Medical orgone therapists are trained to be keen observers of how people express themselves both verbally and with body language. They can help you become aware of and understand the consistent, automatic ways you handle your emotions—your individual character—and how that impacts your life. They also work with you to identify and express healthy aspects of your nature that can help you overcome your problems.
An awareness of the connection between mind and body forms a foundation for the therapeutic approach taught at the ACO. It addresses the underlying emotional reasons why some people are stiff-necked, tight-lipped, tight-assed, scatter-brained and a host of other ways that emotions are held and processed in the body. You may act out of rage or sadness and not even be aware that those feelings fuel your actions. To handle your emotions more constructively, this therapy improves your capacity for better contact with yourself.
We invite you to listen in on the therapy of some of our patients and see for yourself what's different about this kind of psychiatry.
