Peter Orban (* 25. September 1944 in Wittenberge) is a German Psychotherapist, Family & Systemic Constellations Facilitator and Astrologer.

Life
After finishing precollege at Westfalen-Kolleg Dortmund Peter Orban studied Philosophy and Sociology with Theodor W. Adorno and Jürgen Habermas, as well as Psychoanalysis with Alexander Mitscherlich at Goethe University Frankfurt during the years 1969 to 1976. Right at the beginning of his studies he was fascinated by the meaning of symbols in psychoanalysis. In his publishing Psyche und Soma (Psyche and Soma) he wrote about the interdependence of the psyche and the body in the process of socialization. With a second title Menschwerdung (Becoming Human) he followed the same process anew based on Alfred Lorenzer und Klaus Horn. Since 1977 Orban has been working as a psychotherapist, first with the focus on prebirth memory, early traumatic experiences (Primal Therapy, Urschrei after Arthur Janov), and later on reincarnation therapy, also under the influence of Thorwald Dethlefsen. 1977 he encountered Astrology during a crisis after his second divorce. Through his background in archetypal and Shadow conception by Carl Gustav Jung he founded Symbolon, Praxis für Therapie (Symbolon, Practice of Therapie), together with Ingrid Zinnel in 1982 in Frankfurt am Main, which he has been running together with his new wife, Heidemarie Orban since 1995.

Orban is the founder of Personar (1) and, together with Ingrid Zinnel, the creator of the Symbolon card deck. Aside from this he also gained recognition through multiple other astrological works.

For many years his main focus has been that of Family Constellation work, after the work of Bert Hellinger, Symbolon work, as well as therapeutic activities to develop the inner personality according to the Personare. Orban developed his style of Constellation work further through the Constellation of archetypes. (2)
