Neo Freudian RADICAL PSYCHOLOGY
5 rad shrinks from Europe
3 radical psychiatrists with Freud dropped out, into new dimensions (in
Europe) that expands, corrects & applies Freudian psychology in natural,
family, self healing & spiritual capacities now. Those 3 were Adler,
Reich & Jung who began their different beliefs in human psyche in
'roaring '20s'. Alfred Adler became a hi-energy cooperative family
counselor & teacher of Individual Psychology.. Wilhelm Reich evolved
Freuds' theory of 'sexuality' into 'character analysis", sexaul-freedom,
deep body therapy (orgonomy) & cosmic orgone energy research & healing
projects. Carl Jung developed his spiritual nature thru dreams, the
collective unconscious(spirit) archetypes, symbols, mandalas, astrology,
etc. Freuds psycho-analysis became conservative, legal & medicalized
decades after it began to study the subconscious parts of man in 1890s.
.In 40s & 50s Fritz Perls(MD) began Gestalt therapy, deepening
'psychoanalysis'; with dreams, Zen & body language. So here we'll
explore or the 5 rad shrinks growing awareness.
