He was a Doctor of Chiropractic under which license he practiced the psychotherapeutic methods of Wilhelm Reich, M.D. (1897-1957).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReichian Therapy was a revolutionary approach to dealing with psychological issues. Reich, who had once been an associate of Sigmund Freud, had developed important extensions to psychological theory and the therapy methods of the day. But in a clinical setting he and others were continually faced with the intractability of many patients against the therapeutic methods then in use. He came to believe that this \"armoring\" was not simply a \"head issue,\" but was elaborated in actual physical armoring of the musculature. In time he developed a novel, and highly successful, approach to psychotherapy: rather than just talk with his patients, he \u003cem\u003emanipulated and attacked the muscular armor directly\u003c\/em\u003e. But today we see almost nothing of his methods except in Christopher Hyatt's \"Radical Undoing\" and Alexander Lowen's \"Bioenergetics\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst written in the 1950s and updated through the 1970s, this never-before-published tour de force provides a masterful description of both Reich's theory and clinical practice. It is an indispensable tool for anyone interested in one of the most effective psychotherapeutic methods ever devised.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 314\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.66 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 11, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42734107459647,"sku":"9781935150701","price":40.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/ff272ae6b8210fbb1feb8f371d2fdbf2.webp?v=1765138683","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/new-wings-for-daedalus-wilhelm-reich-his-theory-and-techniques-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
