A Different Kind of Psychiatry: A Monthly Series - ACO Clinical Case Presentations & Discussions | ACO Campus, 4419 Route 27, Princeton NJ. Saturdays 4:00PM - 5:00PM. Free to attend.
The ACO is offering the public an exciting opportunity to go behind the scenes and learn how medical orgone therapy makes a difference in treating a variety of emotional problems. We are launching a new, ongoing series of clinical case presentations and discussions being held monthly at the ACO campus in Princeton, NJ.
The first event in the series on Saturday, November 17, 2018 from 4:00PM to 5:00PM is “An Adolescent Comes Out of the Fog of Marijuana” by Peter A. Crist, M.D. Joining Dr. Crist will be Dale Rosin, D.O. as discussant.
Following the recent, successful ACO-sponsored Forum on The Problems with Marijuana, it is important to hear first-hand from therapists in the trenches who are dealing with the fallout of marijuana use in young people.
As Dr. Crist notes, “Drug abuse is but one manifestation of the human problem of contactlessness. Many names—contactlessness, cluelessness, obliviousness and denial—all refer to the same basic tendency to disconnect and blank out as a way of avoiding intolerable feelings. We must address this problem before we have any chance of tackling other individual and societal emotional problems. The ACO is about helping people live in greater connection with their health, both individually and as a society.”
The series is free to attend. Seating is limited and advance registration is recommended. Call (732) 821-1144 or register online below.

Special West Coast Event - Social Orgonomy Series Presentation: "Are You Satisfied with Your Work Life?" | Presented by
Peter A. Crist, M.D. | Saturday, December 8, 2018 | Pacific Resident Theatre, 705 Venice Blvd., Venice, CA, 1:00PM to 3:00PM. Free to attend.
Find Joy in Your Work
Want more satisfaction in your work life? Seeking a new career but not sure how to choose one that suits you? Perhaps you need a new perspective on your current job.
Thanks to the generosity of Orson Bean, renowned actor, comedian and author of Me and the Orgone, and encouragement from Lalo Schifrin, musician, conductor and Oscar award winning composer, you can join Peter A. Crist, M.D. for a unique, interactive presentation about experiencing a better work life. “Are You Satisfied with Your Work Life?” will be held on Saturday, December 8, 2018 from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM at the Pacific Resident Theater, 703 Venice Blvd., Venice, CA. The presentation will be followed by a reception and short update by Dr. Crist on the ACO and our progress over the last several decades.
Dr. Crist’s background in psychiatry and business consulting underlies a distinctive, functional approach to work that can be used by anyone—actors, doctors, lawyers, businesspeople and corporate employees—whether you are self-employed or part of a company. He notes, “Identifying an individual’s specific work nature is important for helping them find satisfaction in work that suits them.”
The approach used by Dr. Crist can also help organizations function more productively and profitably with genuine expansion—the organizational equivalent of individual satisfaction and joy.
Dr. Crist is president of the ACO. He received his AB in Zoology and MD degree from UCLA. He is board certified in psychiatry, internal medicine, and medical orgonomy. He is in private practice near Princeton NJ and is president and CEO of ergonexus LLC, a business consulting practice with a functional approach to organizational problems, work relationships and consulting with individuals from executives to staff.
We encourage you to pass information about this unique event on to family, friends and colleagues on the west coast. Admission is free thanks to underwriting support. Donations are welcome. Seating is limited and reservations are recommended. Call the ACO at (732) 821-1144 or make your reservation online.
While in California, Dr. Crist will also be arranging private, work-life consulting sessions from Sunday, December 9 through Wednesday, December 12. If you are interested in more information, including his fees, contact him at peteracrist@comcast.com.
