A licensed psychologist in the Portland area and adjunct faculty member at several universities, Dr. Daniel Schiff is considered an expert in somatic psychology. He is known for his work with Contemporary Orgone (Reichian) Therapy. This relational and emotionally focused, characterbased somatic psychotherapy addresses the psychological and physiological underpinnings of emotional distress.
Dr. Schiff and NARM Senior Trainer Brad Kammer reflect on the tragic story of Dr. Wilhelm Reich and his impact on somatic psychotherapy and their own clinical work. They touch on how Reich’s original work directly influenced somatic modalities such as Gestalt Therapy, Hakomi Psychotherapy, and Somatic Experiencing and indirectly affected several other models, including EMDR.
