Arthur Nelson, M.D., 96 passed away peacefully at home on April 16th,2024.

He was born on March 30th,1928, in New York. Driven by a lifelong interest in healing, Arthur pursued medical studies in Utrecht, Netherlands, graduating in 1961. He returned to the United States to complete a residency in psychiatry at Hackensack Hospital in New Jersey.

Arthur went on to train at the American College of Orgonomy, where he began his long and passionate career as a Medical Orgone Therapist. He was deeply devoted to his work and cared profoundly for his patients- and they for him. So great was his commitment that he continued practicing until the age of 90.

He leaves behind a legacy of compassion, dedication and genuine human connection.
