Reseña del libro "the science of orgonomy (en Inglés)"
THE SCIENCE OF ORGONOMY, Revised Edition, 2012, is a collection of essays on Wilhelm Reich; there are two essays in English language, entitled 'Reich's Greatest Discoveries' and 'Orgonomy and Schizophrenia' and one essay in German language entitled 'Wilhelm Reich und Orgonomie'. The author understands his engagement for Reich as a contribution to the rehabilitation of one of the greatest, but also one of the most misunderstood, scientists of the 20th century. Reich's Greatest Discoveries is a science essay about Wilhelm Reich's unique orgone research, a new branch of science that at present gains importance because it has shown us ways out of the ecological impasse. Despite the outstanding discoveries that Wilhelm Reich made and the methodological soundness of the new science he founded and that he termed orgonomy, Western science until very recently denied the energy principle, while now, the dynamic-functional, holistic, ethereal and patterned nature of the universe is beginning to be recognized. Wilhelm Reich, as early as in 1945, achieved complete healing of a female schizophrenic patient using bioenergetic or, as Reich termed it, orgonotic treatment. Reich described the treatment in a case report entitled 'The Schizophrenic Split' that was never published and that I ordered from the Wilhelm Reich Museum in Rangeley, Maine. Many a reader, and certainly mental health professionals, know about the ground-breaking work of Ronald David Laing and other members of the movement of antipsychiatry regarding the alternative treatment of schizophrenia. However, small is the number of individuals who have noticed that Wilhelm Reich's research and mental health treatment approach by far preceded those much more well-known and acclaimed methods. In fact, Reich achieved remarkable results with simply redirecting the patient's orgonotic energy flow. Reich's schizophrenia treatment seems revolutionary; however only in the eyes of Western torture psychiatry. For those who, like me, have had a deeper look into Chinese medicine, acupuncture and the energetic principles of Feng Shui, Reich's holistic science approach and his cancer biopathy appear logical, systemically sound and effective.
