American College of Orgonomy
The American College of Orgonomy (ACO) is a nonprofit organization with the self-stated purpose of advancing research in the study of orgonomy,[1] a pseudoscientific field[2][3][4][5] originally developed by the former psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich. Reich asked his student and colleague, Elsworth Baker, to carry the study of orgonomy forward. In response, Baker founded the ACO in 1968.[6][7] The ACO is based in Princeton, New Jersey.

[orgone is] a useless fiction with faulty basic premises, thin partial theory, and unsubstantiated application results. It was quickly discredited and cast away.
