In the 1970s there was a psychiatrist in Los Angeles named Dr. Albert Duvall, who practiced the "orgone therapy" form of psychotherapy developed by Reich. This was a fad among the Hollywood entertainment community at that time and many of the best-known entertainers became his patients.
Unfortunately, Dr. Duvall, unsuspected by the parents who took their children to him for therapy, was a sadist who enjoyed inflicting pain on children. This has started to come out now, after decades of silence, as children of several well-known entertainers are now going public with their stories of being brought to Duvall by their well-intentioned parents and being tortured by him.
At the time, Anthony Kiedis was an adolescent living in Los Angeles and his father, John Kiedis, was a small-time actor who supplemented his acting income by dealing drugs to other actors. According to his autobiography, Anthony Kiedis became hooked on drugs from the age of twelve, with his liberal-minded father's approval.
When Eve Martin, the English informant who told me her own life story in the Gourvenec family of mercenaries in Sheffield, England, who bought her from John Kiedis in exchange for drugs and brought her up in England to be a part of their criminal operations, some of which were done at the behest of the British government, told me of her relationship to Anthony Kiedis, she also told me she had been taken at around the age of seven or so to a sadistic doctor who "poked" her painfully. She did not recall his name, but from her description of him and of his form of treatment, there is no doubt it must have been Dr. Duvall.
Eve does not know if Anthony Kiedis himself was ever also taken to Duvall for orgone therapy treatments, but given the popularity of Duvall among actors of that era and his father's involvement in the acting community, it seems very likely. This prospect raised additional questions about the on-going relationship between the drug-dealing Gourvenec family and Anthony Kiedis and his father. And if Anthony Kiedis was indeed a patient of Duvall as an adolescent, that would explain a lot about his on-stage persona and the type of performances he does.
Exhibitionism, prancing around in public half-naked, and trying to appeal to the sexual fantasies of fourteen-year-old girls is not mature behavior for a middle-aged man. It is what one might expect from an adolescent boy. And it indicates a case of arrested development typical of a person who was severely traumatized as an adolescent and never resumed progress towards an adult personality. He became "stuck" in that stage of his development and still acts as a boy of that age might be expected to act.

Therapy from Duvall, who has recently been outed as a sadist who tortured children sent to him for orgone therapy might explain why Anthony Kiedis is an immature perpetual adolescent, a middle-aged man prancing around on stage half-naked and making a living by trying to attract adolescent girls at the age of 55. Anthony Kiedis acts as if he is a case of arrested development who got "stuck" at the age of 12. I speculate that Anthony Kiedis was traumatized by something at that age and his emotional development stopped then. And his willingness to sleep with a girl in that age group is more reason to suspect that is true.
Duvall was very much in demand with the Hollywood acting community in the 70s and Anthony Kiedis' father was an actor. He also was into sexual freedom for adolescents, according to Anthony Kiedis in his autobiography, who says he was encouraged by his father to sleep with his father's girlfriend at the age of 12. So it seems likely his father was in therapy himself with Duvall, and even more likely that he would have sent his son to Duvall for therapy.
Therapy, as practiced by Dr. Duvall was traumatic, very traumatic, and could well be expected to leave a victim emotionally stunted and unable to form age-appropriate relationships, as seems to be the case with Anthony Kiedis. who has been consistently linked romantically to much younger women, and who continues to make a very good living by playing to the sexual fantasies of teenaged girls.
