Compassionate Psychiatry with
Dr. Bosworth
As a compassionate psychiatrist, I help my patients live with their emotions
rather than try to mute or control them. I believe that in many cases, medication is not the answer and that the key to a successful therapeutic outcome is establishing an honest and caring relationship based on trust.
I am a psychiatrist who offers live, in person, sessions that are not aimed at medicating symptoms. Many of my patients, in fact, are not on medication at all. Instead, the goal is to learn to live effectively, happily, with one’s emotions. Anger, sadness and fear, for example, are all normal human reactions. We strive to find healthy expression of our feelings which in turn frees us from the burden of carrying them around, where even a small trigger can make them erupt.
About Dr. Bosworth
I am a psychiatrist who specializes Medical Orgone Therapy.
Wilhelm Reich discovered orgonomy. He was a physician who trained under and was well revered by Freud. He realized in many cases just analyzing a person’s character was not enough. He developed Freud’s principles to a deeper level, working physically in order to relieve chronic tension and/or inertia seen in a patient’s musculature. He described this as the biophysical component of a person’s resistance to emotional health.
I was very lucky to learn of Reich when I first came to NY freshly equipped with a BA in psychology from the University of Wisconsin/Madison. I was working with severely disturbed children as a counsellor/caretaker. The knowledge I gained from reading Reich’s work provided a real model of health, which no other study had provided. I wanted to become a Medical Orgone Therapist, but that meant going to medical school. Instead, I became a psychiatric social worker (MSW, Adelphi Univ).
While raising two children in NYC I worked as a legal secretary in the daytime. I would see private clients in the evenings. But I did not give up my dream of working to really change or even cure people.
I started medical school at age 48, once my children were grown, graduating from St. George’s University in Grenada, W.I. I did my residency at St. Vincent’s Hospital and a fellowship at New York Medical College (Westchester). Finally, I trained at the American College of Orgonomy in Princeton, NJ.
Currently, I am the Medical Director at a Residential Treatment Center for adolescents. In addition to consulting work, I continue to have a private practice on the Upper West Side of Manhattan where I see people of all ages.
