WILHELM REICH AND ORGONE
ENERGY IN ACTION
Orgonomy is a body of knowledge which was discovered and founded by Dr. Wilhelm Reich who was a student of Sigmund Freud and psychoanalysis. Freud hypothesized the presence of a psycho-sexual energy that operates in the human organism and called it Libido Energy, but he failed to elaborate this concept as an essential factor in human life.
Dr. Reich understood the central importance of the concept of libido as a real biological energy which all life is based on its presence and functioning. He named this energy " Orgone Energy" in relation to the body organs and the function of orgasm.
In this conference, the speakers will describe the discovery of orgone energy, its significance in understanding human behavior and its central importance in the health and sickness of the human organism as well as its use in the treatment and prevention of physical and psychological illnesses, its sociological significance and its existence in the atmosphere.

Biography
Conny Huthsteiner, MD, first heard of Reich from her father, a psychiatrist. She read Summerhill as a child, and knew this approach to education was the right way to allow children grow healthy. She studied art history and pre-med at Yale, graduated 1976. While working as a singer and a student at UCLA film grad school in 1980, she experienced orgone therapy, and decided to write a screenplay about Reich.

She completed pyschiatry residency in the U.S. at the Mayo Clinic and Boston University. and was staff at Harvard Medical School Dept of Psychiatry for many years. She worked and trained with Mort Herskowitz, D.O. She has also served as the President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer of the Institute for Orgonomic Studies. She has participated in numerous conferences on orgonomy over the years, speaking on a broad range of subjects. She lives in Los Angeles, and works as an orgone therapist and psychiatrist. Her primary focus, however has been on Reich’s weather work, orgone energy biophysics, and the healing of our atmosphere.
Dr. Stephan Simonian completed his medical school in Shiraz, Iran. After completing his military service, he came to United States and completed his psychiatry residency program in New York Medical College, Metropolitan Hospital Center.

Michael Mannion has been a professional writer and editor in the field of science and medicine for over 45 years. Since 1971, his regular use of an orgone energy accumulator, and his experience of orgone therapy, influenced his life’s trajectory.
Since then, he has published articles, books, given lectures, organized conferences, and initiated research projects about orgonomy. He and his wife, Trish Corbett, foundedThe Mindshift Institute, to introduce people to New Knowledge that could bring about a New Worldview. Their work has helped others learn more about life energy, orgonomy, and healing, and its relationship to mainstream science, scientific innovation, consciousness, and positive social change.
He was formerly Director of Professional Education Publications for the American Cancer Society and Managing Editor of Ca-A Cancer Journal for Clinicians. He was also a writer for both conventional and complementary health organizations and practitioners, and medical publishing companies.

Prof. Dr. Jorgos Kavouras works with heart and soul in his clinic in Pödeldorf, Germany, He has hosted and participated in lectures, congresses and seminars in 15 countries. He is called a “bridge-builder” between mainstream and energetic & biological-integrative medicine. His personal goal has been to move modern medicine into a more humane and biologically more successful direction with an emphasis on the bio-energetic function of our bodies. He works to bring integrative, orgonomic, homeopathic and biological medicine to universities and the actual mainstream of medicine. He first came in contact with an orgone accumulator in 1975, and has been working with them and the DOR buster ever since. He was trained as a psychiatric orgone therapist in the U.S. Licensed as a physician in Germany in 1984, he has had his own clinic since 1988. In 2005 he published “Heilen mit Orgonenergie”, reporting on his experience with 45 patients. From 2008-2016 he was the Director of Homeopathic Education at International Academy of Classical Homeopathy together with Prof. George Vithoulkas in Greece, and has been faculty for integrative and homeopathy medicine at the University of medicine in Timisoara, Romania.

Roberto Maglione has been studying Reich’s theories since the early 1990’s. He has written about Orgonomy in several scientific articles and the following books: Wilhelm Reich e la modificazione del clima (2004), The healing of atmospheres (2007); Methods and Procedures in Biophysical Orgonometry (2012); The motions of life. Was Einstein really modeling Brownian movement? (2014); and The Legendary Shamir (2017); and co-authored with Nicola Glielmi Argomenti Reichiani (2007), Wilhelm Reich (2009), La distruttività post-encefalitica ed il farabuttismo dialettico nelle strategie di comunicazione (2009), and L’arca di Mosè e l’accumulatore di Reich. Una identità oltre i confini del tempo (2010);and with Alberto Mazzocchi Biofisica e medicina orgonica (2013). He has contributed also to a book edited by DeMarchi and Valenzi: Wilhelm Reich. Una straordinaria avventura scientifica e umana (2007). Maglione holds an MSc degree in mining engineering from the Polytechnic of Turin, Italy, and is a member of numerous scientific associations and organizations. He can be contacted at: robert_jumper@yahoo.it
Armando Vecchietti has been studying Reich’s theories since the early 1970’s, and has been doing research on cancer cell development and the Reich blood test for more than 40 years. He is performing routinely Reich bloodtest for the early diagnosis of cancer in his private practice. Vecchietti presented the results of his investigations in many Conferences both in Italy and abroad, and wrote many papers on the above subjects. He holds a degree in biology taken at the University of Camerino, Italy, in 1977.
Leon Southgate MSc RGN trained as nurse in the 1990s in Liverpool and then went on to become a Chinese Medical acupuncturist, gaining an MSc from the University of Wales in 2002. This research led him to rekindle a childhood knowledge of orgone, his father being a pioneering London psychoanalyst who was interested in Reich and orgonomy. In his study he found dozens of parallels between Chinese medicine and Reich’s theory, and conducted a a 72-person, double-blind, placebo-controlled study which confirmed an effect of orgone accumulators. His main research focus now is on the relationship of orgone to consciousness. Toward this end he has conducted a careful repeat of Reich’s oranur experiment in 2017, confirming many of Reich’s findings in 1951. Various published articles are available in Psychorgone journal and one in the European Journal of Chinese Medicine. Recently he made available the first relatively complete overview and annotated bibliography of biophysical orgonomy since its inception, available at orgoneandconsciousness.substack.com in four sections.

Amir Mohseni is currently a Ph.D. candidate in Clinical Psychology, and has been actively engaged in psychotherapy for over eight years. His professional experience spans both university counseling centers and private clinics, where he continues to provide therapeutic services. His journey with Wilhelm Reich’s therapeutic methods began in 2014, during his Master’s studies in Clinical Psychology, when he read Dr. Stephan Simonian’s translation of Reich’s book, “The Function of the Orgasm”. This exposure laid the groundwork for his later development. In 2023, he underwent a significant shift in his therapeutic approach through training with Dr. Stephan Simonian, which further enriched his practice by integrating Reich’s innovative methods.
