The American College of Orgonomy is hosting a free webinar on Saturday, October 19, 2024 from 4:00 to 5:00PM (EDT) as part of its Case Presentation Series. Chris Burritt, D.O., will present “The Salesman Who Needed to Cry” in a discussion with interviewer/host Salvatore Iacobello, M.D. During this presentation, you will have the opportunity to submit questions privately using the Q and A function on Zoom.

Steve was a 40-year-old sales executive who suffered with panic attacks and had no clue that he was having emotional difficulty. During his initial consultation he described life as “great,” unaware of where his panic originated.
Dr. Burritt’s treatment focused on helping Steve discover the source of his panic. In therapy, Steve was helped to connect with his feelings and have them come to the surface, which had a profound impact on his life.
Please join us to learn more about how Dr. Burritt helped Steve understand himself and how his emotions and impulses affected his life

Readings in Social Orgonomy Online Study Group
The American College of Orgonomy is once again offering Readings in Social Orgonomy, an online reading and study group for students of orgonomy, society and human nature. The new semester will begin by completing our discussion of the last chapter of Clueless: The Great Human Disconnect. We will then turn our attention to new texts including The Mass Psychology of Fascism by Wilhelm Reich, M.D. and Dr. Konia's latest book, The Demise of America. The format consists of reading an assigned section of the book followed by an online group discussion with Edward Chastka, M.D. as moderator. Dr. Chastka will also present didactic material when necessary to add depth to the discussion.
The new semester consists of two sessions using the Zoom platform. The first meeting was held on Saturday, June 15 from 11:30AM to 1:00PM, and the second meeting is scheduled for Saturday, October 26 from 11:30AM to 1:00PM. Each meeting includes live back-and-forth interaction between a limited group of online participants. An unlimited number of auditors will have the opportunity to listen in and observe.
We are now considering applications to become new participants in the discussion. There is a $75 fee to discussion participants to help cover the administrative expenses of the ACO. There is no fee for auditing.
To request a participant or auditor application, email aco@orgonomy.org or call (732) 821-1144.
