Other Orgonomic Literature of Note

Emotional Armoring : An Introduction to Psychiatric Orgone Therapy
by Morton Herskowitz, D.O.

In this book chronicling his more than 50 years of experience practicing as a psychiatric orgone therapist, Dr. Herskowitz provides the reader with an in-depth view of the process in all its various manifestations.

After training in classical psychiatry Dr. Herskowitz continued his studies, first as a patient of Dr. Reich's to help "dismantle" his own neurotic structure and character defenses, then as a colleague, participating in the conferences, seminars and projects that were being conducted under Dr. Reich's aegis.  After Reich's death, Dr. Herskowitz continued to practice psychiatric orgone therapy in Philadelphia, PA, which he does to this day.


This book is rich in its use of clinical vignettes, illustrating the process of orgone therapy and  the dissolution of the armor.  Although descriptions of the different armored segments have been given in other orgonomic literature, Dr.Herskowitz manages to give additional information regarding its recognition and treatment that comes across as fresh and valuable.  This could only come from someone who has spent many years working with human beings in a  patient, contactful, and honest manner.  These qualities flow off the page, providing the reader, both layman and professional alike, with insight, knowledge, and an appreciation of this work.
