[Audio] Orgone accumulator The orgone accumulator was created by Wilhelm Reich. He believed that the mental state depends on the amount of orgone (he considered it a blue substance) in the body. The real story - abbey (The information comes from the book " The Black Sheep of Medicine - The Untold Story of Psychiatry" by Jeffrey A. Lieberman) Once, Abbey came to Reich so that he could diagnose her and heal her. After a short conversation, Reich made a diagnosis that the girl needed a natural flow of orgone through the body. He made her strip down to her underwear and sit down on a wooden chair. He began to touch her hands, shoulders, and then her knees and thighs. It was as if he was trying to feel for a lump. Then he said, "Yes, here and here .." He showed her "the orgone retention strands." The orgone accumulator was supposed to increase the orgone voltage in the body. 9.

[Audio] Rush's chair The roots of American psychiatry are usually sought in the figure of Benjamin Rush [...]. Rush is considered to be the Pinel of the New World because of his claims that mental illnesses are medical conditions, not moral flaws [...]. Jeffrey A. Lieberman Rush used a swivel chair which was his own idea. The patient was tied to a chair and was shaken. Psychotic symptoms gave way to dizziness and vomiting. Psychoanalytical theory of Sigmund Freud You could say that Freud was a curious as well as a strange man. However, his psychoanalytic theory changed both psychology and psychiatry forever. It was based on a treatment by conversation. It consisted of the patient saying what he could think of, and wanting to change the subject meant " resistance" that had to be worked through. 10.
