The History, Evolution, and Future of Somatic Therapy with Dr. Daniel Schiff

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, character-based 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.

About Dr. Daniel Schiff:

Dr. Daniel Schiff is a licensed psychologist in private practice with 45 years of clinical experience in somatic psychotherapy from a Reichian and Gestalt perspective. He has lectured widely on topics related to emotions, psychotherapy, and Reichian and Gestalt therapy to both public and professional audiences, and provides clinical seminars, training, and supervision to mental health professionals. Dr. Schiff also offers a 4-year Contemporary Orgone (Reichian) Therapy training program.

In addition to his clinical work, Dr. Schiff has been an adjunct faculty member in psychology at Seattle Central Community College, Antioch University, and the Washington School of Professional Psychology (Argosy University - Seattle), and currently offers a course in somatic psychology at Lewis and Clark college.
