The emotional plague of mankind has gained a stranglehold on the psychiatrist and on the psychiatric profession. The psychiatrist’s treatment today is entirely mechanistic. No longer is he interested in the patient’s emotional problems. His focus is exclusively on the quantitative properties of the patient’s symptoms and “drugs of choice” are “tailor made” to eliminate them. Since emotional symptoms are qualitative properties, they cannot be measured and are therefore ignored by the psychiatrist in his evaluation and treatment.
The mechanistic approach of the psychiatrist goes along with the need of the typically clueless patient who is mystically conditioned to look for the cure-all contained in the “right pill”. This alliance of the mechanistic psychiatrist with the mystical patient functions as a barrier and a dead end for the psychiatric profession. It is another manifestation of the emotional plague in people’s everyday lives. For the treatment of the emotional component of the patient’s disorder, the patient is referred to a mystically oriented, lay psychologist or social worker to complete the equation of the plague’s operation.
From a functional perspective, quantity and quality are property’s of the patient’s biological orgone energy. They are two components of the patient’s emotional life. The medical orgonomist is trained to address both of these components in the treatment of the patient’s emotional disorder often without medication using the functional approach of medical orgone therapy.
