Judith Orloff (born June 25, 1951)[1] is an American board-certified psychiatrist who incorporates energy medicine and what she calls "energy psychiatry" into her practice.
She has a private practice in Los Angeles. She holds workshops and speaking engagements, blogs for several websites, and is the author of four books.
Biography
Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, daughter of Theodore and Maxine, both physicians,[1] Orloff grew up in Beverly Hills, where she claims to have had her first psychic premonitions, foreseeing illnesses, deaths, and earthquakes.[2] Coming from a lineage of 25 physicians,[3] Orloff received her MD from the University of Southern California in 1979.[1] She completed a medical internship at Wadsworth Veteran's Hospital in Los Angeles in 1980, and held a psychiatric residency at UCLA's Neuropsychiatric Institute from 1979 to 1983.[1] She also held staff positions at hospitals in the Los Angeles area (Cedars Sinai Medical Center, St Johns Medical Center, the Daniel Freeman Hospital,[1] and Brotman Medical Center).
She has taken part in psychical research projects with Thelma Moss, Mobius Group[4] and the Institute of Noetic Sciences,[1][5] and is a member of the American Psychiatric Association and the Southern California Psychiatric Society.[1]
Orloff is an assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at UCLA, has had a private practice in Los Angeles since 1983,[1] and leads workshops on the relationships between medicine, intuition, and spirituality.[6]
Psychotherapy practice
In a review of Orloff's first book Second Sight (1996), Publishers Weekly said "Orloff's unconventional attempt to bridge the worlds of Freud and the paranormal will appeal to open-minded readers."[2] The review also reported that she worked with police departments using her psychic abilities.[2] Orloff calls her ability second sight, and she coined the term energy psychiatry to describe her novel psychotherapy model.
It addresses the subtle energetic underpinnings of health and behavior and is a combination of conventional medicine, intuition, spirituality and energy. It is a subset of energy medicine, which views our bodies and spirits as manifestations of subtle energies. This is what many indigenous healing traditions revere as a life force and is conspicuous by its absence from Western health care.[7]—Russ Mason, The Energy Psychiatry of Judith Orloff, M.D.
Orloff has spoken at medical schools, hospitals, the American Psychiatric Association, Fortune magazine's Most Powerful Women Summit; and at alternative and traditional health forums such as National Alliance for the Mentally Ill in Los Angeles, Columbia Presbyterian Hospital Medical Center in New York, the UCLA Pediatric Pain Program in Los Angeles, and the Maria Shriver's First Lady's Women's Conference also in Los Angeles.
Orloff has contributed videos and articles to television psychic John Edward's website John Edward Presents Infinite Quest,[8] and she has a regular blog on The Huffington Post.[9]
