We will try to define it next. It is frequent to experience alterations in perception while in states of fatigue or anxiety, or in feverish states. These changes are directly related with the general state of the organism. They are functional alterations, because no damage is verified in the tissues of the organs of the senses or in the nervous system and the normality of perception returns when the general state of alteration is overcome. During the period of perceptive distortion we are affected by a different but more attenuated or more intense world that may seem clearer in its forms or more faded out, and where light and sound coo us or become almost intolerable.
Therapeutic action alters the psychophysical state in specific form.
Psychoanalysis, for example, acts directly on the patient's symbolic world by means of the re-meaning of its contents and indirectly on the real world and on the general psychophysical state. The conductive techniques train the patient in the appropriate valuation of stimuli and in the corresponding behaviors. This way, they achieve a change in the psychophysical state by means of the control of affections that favors the strengthening of self-assurance. In the case of Orgonomy, the action is exercised on the character, defined as chronic alteration of the ego. A functional identity exists between the psychic features of the character and the posture and corporal expression.
