OFFERINGS BY THE ORGONOMIC INSTITUTE OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA/Patricia Frisch, PhD
New Distance Learning Comprehensive CD Training Series 
Approved for CE’s for California Psychologists
OINC’s 6-course Comprehensive CD training series is designed for new and current students who want to learn characteranalysis and have a comprehensive education in Wilhelm Reich, Masterson and Dr. Frisch’s method.
These courses are at an intermediate/advanced level and will thoroughly cover the theoretical and clinical approach of Wilhelm Reich and his somatic techniques. The Masterson Group's delineation of the Disorders of the Self will also be included in order to represent later research in developmental attachment theory and round out Reich's diagnostic typology. These training courses are rich with information, include non-confidential discussion and experiential coaching to hear the approach in action, and allow students to self-pace and deepen their learning to the point of mastery. These courses facilitate your entry into more advanced classes that include Reich's biophysical interventions.
In addition to Dr. Patricia Frisch’s instruction, several segments of the training are taught by Dr. Richard Blasband. Richard A. Blasband is a board-certified psychiatrist. Dr. Blasband studied medical orgonomy with Dr. Elsworth Baker, who was appointed by Wilhelm Reich to train physicians in his therapeutic discipline, psychiatric orgone therapy. With others of Dr. Baker’s students, Dr. Blasband assisted Dr. Baker in the creation of the American College of Orgonomy.
These courses are approved by MCEP for continuing education credit for California Psychologists. They are also approved for CE’s for California MFT’s, LCSW’s, and RN’s.
Dr. Patricia Frisch also offers comprehensive training programs in Wilhelm Reich’s character-analytic and somatic approach, Mastersonian disorders of the self, and elements from Jung to qualified mental health and medical professionals, and graduate students.

Dr. Patricia Frisch and The Orgonomic Institute of Northern California Announce Their New 2012 Schedule of Classes
OINC live classes are an especially dynamic and effective way to expose more clinicians and graduate students to the important contributions of Wilhelm Reich, often credited with being the father of somatic therapies. He was a master at character interventions that could quickly and deeply facilitate patient break-through, allowing them to make contact with their authentic self and their core feelings. Reich’s characteranalysis is a skill that maximizes potent interventions and moves the patient beyond their facade and into profound honesty. Some therapists, when they are first introduced to the theory and practice of Orgonomic Therapy, see it as a bit “out of the box” in its spontaneous, liberating style. Orgonomic Therapy’s unique approach is an effective antidote to the compelling, deadening counter-pull of patients’ habitual homeostasis. As therapists, we need to move from stale interventions and intellectualized interpretations to meaningful exchange. We teach this method of character intervention because of its great effectiveness.
