About this title

From the Inside Flap

After spending ten years and thousands of dollars for psychoanalysis, actor Orson Bean was divorced, depressed and dissatisfied with life. Then he discovered medical orgone therapy. Wilhelm Reich, M.D. developed this unique method of treatment which centers on the concept that sensual, sexual feelings must be integrated with tender feelings of love for an individual to achieve complete sexual satisfaction. One must be free of emotional and physical blocks to experience such feelings.

Here is the candid, deeply personal story of Orson's experience with medical orgone therapy and how it triggered his own sexual revolution. Almost immediately he realized that something unusual and quite miraculous was happening. His body began to change. He felt freer and more alive. Orgone therapy transformed Orson--his sexual response, his relationships, his entire life. It brought Orson that great "second chance" for the best life has to offer--something most dream of and so few find.
