2012 OINC Live Classes

2012 Schedule

The “working therapist” has a challenging profession. Many find themselves entrenched in treatment protocols that are stagnant or fail to produce desired results. We believe clinicians can invigorate their approach and bring new vitality to their work. True excitement – and transformation – lies in traversing a path of continual inspiration, learning, and creativity.

OINC live classes are an especially dynamic and effective way to expose more clinicians and graduate students to the important contributions of Wilhelm Reich. He was a master at character interventions that could quickly and deeply facilitate patient break-through, allowing them to make contact with their authentic self and their core feelings. Reich’s characteranalysis is a skill that maximizes potent interventions and moves the patient beyond their facade and into profound honesty. Some therapists, when they are first introduced to the theory and practice of Orgonomic Therapy, see it as a bit “out of the box” in its spontaneous, liberating style. Orgonomic Therapy’s unique approach is an effective antidote to the compelling, deadening counter-pull of patients’ habitual homeostasis. As therapists, we need to move from stale interventions and intellectualized interpretations to meaningful exchange. We teach this method of character intervention because of its great effectiveness.

Wilhelm Reich is often credited with being the father of somatic therapies. Most mental health professionals practice verbal analytic therapy but few clinicians are trained to include somatic interventions to facilitate patients in releasing the deep-seated affect and habitual muscular holding that lead to chronic stress-related symptoms and disease. The mind/body connection is real and as professionals we can intervene to repair the ruptures in self-regulation that occur at the deepest levels. Recent advances in neuroscience demonstrate that our earliest attachment experiences in infancy radically affect the development of the brain with major ramifications on our entire ability to function.

The theory and practice of Masterson’s object relations and Jung’s current research/theory in early attachment issues will be integrated into Reich’s approach.
