We introduce and present a medical psychotherapeutic technique initiated by Wilhelm Reich in the 1920's and thereafter expanded and refined with essential contributions by Elsworth Baker among others. We outline its theory and technical foundations and also provide an epistemological interpretation of its peculiar body-mind representation based on characterand muscular armoring as a reaction to suffering; armoring of the ocular segment in the aetiology of Bleuler's schizophrenic splitting; and finally the consequences of armoring on the energetic functions as the logical development of Freud's theory of libido, with significant theoretic, therapeutic and nosologic consequences.
