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.

About the Author

Orson Bean's career spans five decades. In addition to being an actor and award-winning director, he is an acclaimed storyteller. He starred on Broadway for twenty years, and appears frequently in Los Angeles Theater. Mr. Bean has had three books published and currently lives in Venice, California with his wife, the actress Alley Mills.

I was living, in those days, in an apartment in New York City that looked out onto the East River. My marriage of six years had busted up and my ex-wife had gone to live in, of all places, Africa, where she had a new French husband and a new life. For my part, I had a year-and-a-half-old baby daughter, Michele, and a beautiful seventeen-year-old Irish nanny to look after her. Her name was Bridie and my wife had hired her as a maid and I kept her on to look after the baby when my wife departed. She had a rosy-cheeked, peasanty, droit-du-seigneur beauty and a body that made Raquel Welch look like a rake. It was an odd situation: a horny, miserable bachelor, a year-and-a-half-old baby girl and this ravishing Irish teen-ager occupying a luxury flat on Manhattans East Side.
