Re-evaluation Counseling, or RC is the best known and largest organization for Co-Counseling.

[citation needed] RC today spans over 40 countries and offers many individuals a cheap or largely free form of counseling and personal healing / growth.

Within RC, its work is seen as focusing on combating societal oppressions such as racism and sexism, and the effects of those oppressions on individuals and society.

The organization is also involved in a number of political causes such as anti-racism,and similar movements.[citation needed]

Founded by Harvey Jackins and his followers in the 1950s and early 60s, it is headquartered in Seattle, Washington USA. Jackins, who died in 1999, originally had connections to Dianetics, unions and other leftist movements.

He created RC as an attempt to combine Dianetics with Marxism and his own insights about how people heal, to form a new therapeutic method based on co-operative and free sharing of time and attention between individuals to each others' problems which he called \"Co-Counseling\" and a new overall movement, establishing formal teaching methods and workshops to train Co-Counselors, which he termed \"Re-evaluation Counseling\", delivered through Seattle-based \"Personal Counselors\", a small company which trained people in his methods.

The headquarters unit of RC in Seattle, recently renamed (15 February 2007) \"Re-evaluation Counseling Community Resources, Inc\", provides counseling in a more traditional counselor/client model for fees, primarily to RC leaders or supporters.

Reiki (霊気 or レイキ, Reiki? IPA: /ˈreɪkiː/) is a form of spiritual practice,[1] used as a complementary therapy,[2] proposed for the treatment of physical, emotional, and mental diseases.

Mikao Usui developed Reiki in early 20th century Japan, where he said he received the ability of 'healing without energy depletion' after three weeks of fasting and meditating on Mount Kurama.[6]

Practitioners use a technique similar to the laying on of hands, which they say will channel \"healing energy\" (ki).[7]

Practitioners state that energy flows through their palms[8] to bring about healing[9] and that the method can be used for self-treatment[10] as well as treatment of others.

Reprogramming refers to erasure and remodeling of epigenetic marks, such as DNA methylation, during mammalian development[1].

After fertilization some cells of the newly formed embryo migrate to the germinal ridge and will eventually become the germ cells (sperm and oocytes).

Due to the phenomenon of genomic imprinting, maternal and paternal genomes are differentially marked and must be properly reprogrammed every time they pass through the germline.

Therefore, during the process of gametogenesis the primordial germ cells must have their original biparental DNA methylation patterns erased and re-established based on the sex of the transmitting parent.

After fertilization the paternal and maternal genomes are once again demethylated and remethyated (except for differentially methylated regions associated with imprinted genes).

This reprogramming is likely required for totipotency of the newly formed embryo and erasure of acquired epigenetic changes.

In vitro manipulation of pre-implantation embryos has been shown to disrupt methlyation patterns at imprinted loci[2] and plays a crucial role in cloned animals.

Reality Therapy is a particular approach in psychotherapy and counselling. It has primarily been developed by the psychiatrist Dr. William Glasser since the mid-1960's.

Reality Therapy is based on a concept called Choice Theory (originally called control theory).

It has become well-established in the US and internationally and it has also been widely applied in education.

The Reality Therapy approach to counselling and problem-solving focuses on the here-and-now of the client and how to create a better future, instead of concentrating at length on the past.

It emphasizes making decisions, and taking action and control of one's own life.

Typically, clients seek to discover what they really want and whether what they are currently doing (how they are choosing to behave) is actually bringing them nearer to, or further away from, that goal.

Reality Therapy is a considered a cognitive-behavioural approach to therapy; that is, it focuses on facilitating the client to become aware of, and if necessary, change, his/her thoughts and actions.

Wilhelm Reich (March 24, 1897 – November 3, 1957) was an Austrian-American psychiatrist and psychoanalyst.

Reich was a respected analyst for much of his life, focusing on character structure, rather than on individual neurotic symptoms.

He promoted adolescent sexuality, the availability of contraceptives and abortion, and the importance for women of economic independence.

Reich's work influenced thinkers such as Alexander Lowen, Fritz Perls, Paul Goodman, Saul Bellow, Norman Mailer, A. S. Neill and William Burroughs.

He had a demonstrated ability to synthesize material from psychoanalysis, cultural anthropology, economics, sociology, and ethics.[1][2][3][4][5]

Reich became a controversial figure for his studies on the link between human sexuality and neuroses, emphasizing \"orgastic potency\" as the foremost criterion for psycho-physical health.

He said he had discovered a form of energy that permeated the atmosphere and all living matter, which he called \"orgone.

\" He built boxes called \"orgone accumulators\", which patients could sit inside, and which were intended to harness the energy for what he believed were its health benefits.

It was this work, in particular, that cemented the rift between Reich and the psychiatric establishment.[2][6][7]

Reich, of Jewish descent and formerly a Communist, was living in Germany when Adolf Hitler came to power.

He fled to Norway in 1934 and subsequently to the United States in 1939.

In 1947, following a series of critical articles about orgone in The New Republic and Harper's, the U.S.

Food and Drug Administration (FDA) began an investigation into his claims, and won an injunction against the interstate sale of orgone accumulators.

Charged with contempt of court for violating the injunction, Reich conducted his own defense, which involved sending the judge all his books to read.

He was sentenced to two years in prison, and in August 1956, several tons of his publications were burned by the FDA.

He died of heart failure in jail just over a year later, days before he was due to apply for parole.
