| wilhelm reich books: Wilhelm Reich and Orgonomy Ola Raknes, 2004 Here is an authoritative introduction to Wilhelm Reich's science of life energy, or orgonomy. Ola Raknes covers every aspect of this controversial subject, explaining among much else the liberation of sexual energy, the nature of functional thinking, mind-body functional identity, the four-beat orgasm formula, and the bearing of life energy on religion, education, medicine and psychology. In addition, his own reminiscences provide an unexpected personal dimension. At the time of Reich's death in a federal penitentiary, Raknes was one of the few men still loyal to him and one of the few to enjoy his full confidence. Because Raknes worked so closely with Reich and later followed every development of orgonomic research, Wilhlem Reich and Orgonomy fills an important place both in the context of Reich's own writings and in current studies of life energy. |

| wilhelm reich books: Children of the Future Wilhelm Reich, 1984-07 In this gathering of his writing on children, Reich demonstrates the impact of the environment of the infant, showing how it can warp the child's development. He points particularly to how disastrous the exclusion of genitality is to the child. |
| wilhelm reich books: People In Trouble Wilhelm Reich, 2013-07-02 First published by Reich in 1953, People in Trouble is an autobiographical work in which Reich describes the development of his sociological thinking from 1927 to 1937. In simple narrative form he recounts his personal experiences with major social and political events and ideas, and reveals how these experiences gradually led him to an awareness of the deep significance of the human character structure in shaping and responding to the social process. The importance of Karl Marx's work and its distortion by communist politicians plays an important role in Reich's account, as does the political activity in the International Psychoanalytic Association which led to his expulsion from that organization in 1934. The Norwegian press campaign against his biological experiments is also discussed. People in Trouble is the story of one man's courageous struggle to understand the political activity of his fellow men. |
| wilhelm reich books: The Mass Psychology of Fascism Wilhelm Reich, 2023-11-27 Wilhelm Reich's classic study, written during the years of the German crisis, is a unique contribution to the understanding of one of the crucial phenomena of our times-fascism. Reich firmly repudiates the concept that fascism is the ideology or action of a single individual or nationality, or any ethnic or political group. He also denies a purely socio-economic explanation as advanced by Marxist ideologists. He understands fascism as the expression of the irrational character structure of the average human being whose primary, biological needs and impulses have been suppressed for thousands of years.The social function of this suppression and the crucial role played in it by the authoritarian family and the church are carefully analyzed. Reich shows how every form of organized mysticism, including fascism, relies on the unsatisfied orgastic longing of the masses.The importance of this work today cannot be underestimated. The human character structure that created organized fascist movements still exists, dominating our present social conflicts. If the chaotic agony of our times is ever to be eliminated, we must turn our attention to the character structure that creates it; we must understand the mass psychology of fascism. |
| wilhelm reich books: Listen, Little Man! Wilhelm Reich, Theodore Peter Wolfe, William Steig, 1972 Listen, Little Man! is a great physician's quiet talk to each one of us, the average human being, the Little Man. Written in 1946 in answer to the gossip and defamation that plagued his remarkable career, it tells how Reich watched, at first naively, then with amazement, and finally with horror, at what the Little Man does to himself; how he suffers and rebels; how he esteems his enemies and murders his friends; how, wherever he gains power as a representative of the people, he misuses this power and makes it crueler than the power it has supplanted.Reich has us to look honestly at ourselves and to assume responsibility for our lives and for the great untapped potential that lies in the depth of human nature. |
| wilhelm reich books: Where's the Truth? Wilhelm Reich, 2012-08-07 Where's the Truth? is the fourth and final volume of Wilhelm Reich's autobiographical writings, drawn from his diaries, letters, and laboratory notebooks. These writings reveal the details of the outrider scientist's life—his joys and sorrows, his hopes and insecurities—and chronicle his experiments with what he called orgone energy. A student of Freud's and a prominent research physician in the early psychoanalytic movement, Reich immigrated to America in 1939 in flight from Nazism, and pursued research about orgone energy functions in the living organism and the atmosphere. Where's the Truth? begins in January 1948, shortly after Reich became a target of the Federal Food and Drug Administration. He had already faced persecution by the U.S. government, having been mistaken by the State Department and the FBI for both a Communist and a Nazi. Starting in 1947, Reich was hounded by the FDA, which, in 1954, obtained an injunction by default against him that enabled it to burn six tons of his published books and research journals, and to ban the use of one of his most important experimental research tools—the orgone energy accumulator. Challenging the right of a court to judge basic scientific research, Reich was imprisoned in March 1957 and died in the U.S. Penitentiary in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, eight months later. The text gathered here shows Reich's steadfast determination to protect his work. Where's the truth? he asked a lawyer, and that question animates this volume and rounds out our understanding of a unique, irrepressible modern figure. |
| wilhelm reich books: The Sexual Revolution Wilhelm Reich, 2023-10 In this book, Wilhelm Reich summarizes the criticism of the prevailing sexual conditions and conflicts as it resulted from his sex-economic medical experiences over a period of years. He demonstrates, by way of individual examples, the general basic traits of the conflicts in present-day sexual living, dealing particularly with the institution of marriage and the revolution in family life as well as with the problems of infantile and adolescent sexuality. He also presents a detailed and revealing study of the sexual revolution that occurred briefly in Soviet Russia in the first few years of their economic revolution. |
| wilhelm reich books: Reich Speaks of Freud Wilhelm Reich, 2013-07-02 The core of this book is a tape-recorded interview of Wilhelm Reich, conducted by a representative of the Sigmund Freud Archives, Inc. Published here for the first time, it is a profoundly human and an unusually candid document that supplies a long-awaited clarification of the relationship between Reich and Freud. Reich discusses the personally tragic but scientifically vital implications of his relationship with Sigmund Freud in a manner both simple and concise, placing the reader in a position to determine for himself what was at issue. The book has an extensive documentary supplement containing pertinent extracts from Reich's writings as well as previously unpublished material from his archives, including letters to Freud, Adler, Ferenczi, and others involved in the early struggles within psychoanalysis. It also includes documents revealing the unrelenting hostility of the psychoanalysts toward Reich. |
| wilhelm reich books: Wilhelm Reich in Hell Robert Anton Wilson, 1995 In 1957, the government of the United States of America jailed Dr Reich and burned his published works. This book provides a look at the vilification and destruction of a man who refused to bow to Gestapo tactics. |
| wilhelm reich books: Adventures in the Orgasmatron Dr Christopher Turner, Well before the 1960s, a sexual revolution was under way in America, led by expatriated European thinkers who saw a vast country ripe for liberation. In Adventures in the Orgasmatron, Christopher Turner tells the revolution's story: an illuminating, thrilling, often bizarre story of sex and science, ecstasy and repression. |
| wilhelm reich books: The Murder of Christ Wilhelm Reich, 2013-07-02 In this profound and moving work, the scientist Wilhelm Reich explores the meaning of Christ's life and reveals the hidden, universal scourge that caused his agonizing death--The Emotional Plague of Mankind. Reich contends that man is faced with full responsibility for the murder of Christ all through the ages--for the murder of fellow human beings, no matter what the circumstances. Here is the blunt truth about people's true ways of being, acting and emotional reacting. Here, also, the lesson of the murder of Christ is applied to the contemporary social scene. The tragedy of Reich's own death points up the fact that the problems presented in THE MURDER OF CHRIST are acute problems of present-day society. |
| wilhelm reich books: Wilhelm Reich and the Healing of Atmospheres Roberto Maglione, 2011-11 A scientific overview of Wilhelm Reich's discovery of the atmospheric orgone or life-energy, and applications of Cosmic Orgone Engineering, or cloudbusting as it is more popularly known.

| wilhelm reich books: Everybody: A Book about Freedom Olivia Laing, 2021-05-04 Astute and consistently surprising critic (NPR) Olivia Laing investigates the body and its discontents through the great freedom movements of the twentieth century. The body is a source of pleasure and of pain, at once hopelessly vulnerable and radiant with power. In her ambitious, brilliant sixth book, Olivia Laing charts an electrifying course through the long struggle for bodily freedom, using the life of the renegade psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich to explore gay rights and sexual liberation, feminism, and the civil rights movement. Drawing on her own experiences in protest and alternative medicine, and traveling from Weimar Berlin to the prisons of McCarthy-era America, Laing grapples with some of the most significant and complicated figures of the past century—among them Nina Simone, Christopher Isherwood, Andrea Dworkin, Sigmund Freud, Susan Sontag, and Malcolm X. Despite its many burdens, the body remains a source of power, even in an era as technologized and automated as our own. Arriving at a moment in which basic bodily rights are once again imperiled, Everybody is an investigation into the forces arranged against freedom and a celebration of how ordinary human bodies can resist oppression and reshape the world. |

| wilhelm reich books: The Bioelectrical Investigation of Sexuality and Anxiety Wilhelm Reich, 2013-07-02 Looking back over the development of orgone biophysics, Reich wrote: My experimental studies during the years 1934 to 1938 gradually and logically centered on a single basic problem: how deeply is the function of the orgasm rooted in biology? The Bioelectrical Investigation of Sexuality and Anxiety is composed of three essential contributions from the period: The Orgasm as an Electrophysiological Discharge, Sexuality and Anxiety, and The Bioelectrical Function of Sexuality and Anxiety, Reich's detailed report on the physiological experiments in which he sought proof for his orgasm theory. The Bioelectrical Investigation of Sexuality and Anxiety can with good reason be understood as a logical continuation of my Character Analysis, Reich wrote. It is the character analysis of the areas of biological functioning. |
| wilhelm reich books: The Discovery of the Orgone Wilhelm Reich, 1948 |
| wilhelm reich books: Sex-Pol Wilhelm Reich, 2014-08-26 This volume contains the first complete translations of Wilhelm Reich’s writings from his Marxist period. Reich, who died in 1957, had a career with a single goal: to find ways of relieving human suffering. And the same curiosity and courage that led him from medical school to join the early pioneers of Freudian psychoanalysis, and then to some of the most controversial work of this century—his development of the theory of the orgone—led him also, at one period of his life, to become a radical socialist. The renewed interest in Reich’s Marxist writings, and particularly in his notions about sexual and political liberation, follows the radical critiques of Herbert Marcuse, Frantz Fanon and Paul Goodman, the political protest movements toward personal liberation in the present decade. |
| wilhelm reich books: Selected Writings, an Introduction to Orgonomy Wilhelm Reich, 1960 |
| wilhelm reich books: Ether, God & Devil & Cosmic Superimposition Wilhelm Reich, 2023-12 There is great excitement and interest today in what is described as the paradigm shift in science. Humanity's understanding of the universe and its place in it is changing dramatically. Wilhelm Reich's Ether, God and Devil (1949) and Cosmic Superimposition (1951) are two groundbreaking books that helped initiate the current paradigm shift long before the concept was popularized in Thomas Kuhn's 1962 book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, and the later works of such best-selling authors as Fritjof Capra, Gary Zukav, Timothy Ferris, and many more.In Ether, God and Devil, Reich describes his process of thinking-which he called orgonomic functionalism-and shows how the inner logic of this objective thought technique led him to the discovery of the cosmic orgone energy.In Cosmic Superimposition, Reich steps out of our current framework of mechanistic-mystical thinking and comes to a radically different understanding of how man is rooted in nature. He shows clearly how the superimposition of two orgone energy streams-demonstrable in the human genital embrace and in the formation of spiral galaxies-is the common functioning principle in all of nature. Concluding this work, Reich ponders what is perhaps the greatest riddle of all: the ability of man to think, and by mere thinking to know what nature is and how it works.Together, these two works usher in a fundamentally new view of humanity, nature, and man's place in the cosmos. |

| wilhelm reich books: Early Writings Wilhelm Reich, 2013-07-02 This volume marks the beginning of the publication in English of Reich's early writings. Volume One and the collections to follow will trace his scientific development from the psycho-analytical study of Ibsen's Peer Gynt, presented for membership in the Viennese Psychoanalytic Society (1920), to the crucial discovery of the bion (1938), which initiated his work in orgone biophysics and led to the discovery of cosmic orgone energy. In a foreword to this volume, Chester M. Raphael writes: Viewing [Reich's] work retrospectively, it is easy to see the logic of its development from psychoanalysis to sex-economy and, finally, to orgone biophysics. Its continuity is so apparent that any tendency to fragment it or to ignore the relatedness of all his findings indicates a failure to comprehend its essence--the energy principal which unites all aspects of his work...Reich's early writings...are an integral part of the development that led to the discovery of orgone energy. |
| wilhelm reich books: A Book of Dreams - The Book That Inspired Kate Bush's Hit Song 'Cloudbusting' Peter Reich, 2015-03-05 'Cloudbusting...was inspired by a book that I first found on a shelf... It was just calling me from the shelf, and when I read it I was very moved by the magic of it. It's about a special relationship between a young son and his father. The book was written from a child's point of view. His father is everything to him; he is the magic in his life, and he teaches him everything, teaching him to be open-minded and not to build up barriers' - Kate Bush This famous book, the inspiration behind Kate Bush's 1985 hit song 'Cloudbusting', is the extraordinary account of life as friend, confidant and child of the brilliant but persecuted Austrian psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich. Peter, his son, shared with his father the revolutionary concept of a world where dream and reality are virtually indistinguishable, and the sense of mission which set him and his followers apart from the rest of the human race.Here, Peter Reich writes vividly and movingly of the mysterious experiences he shared with his father: of flying saucers; the 'cloudbuster' rain-makers and the FDA narks; and of the final tragic realization of his father's death, which woke him up to the necessity of living out his life in an alien world.Already regarded as a modern classic, A Book of Dreams is not only a beautifully written narrative of a remarkable friendship and collaboration, but a loving son's heartfelt tribute to a loving father.WITH A NEW PREFACE BY THE AUTHOR |

| wilhelm reich books: American Odyssey Wilhelm Reich, 2013-07-02 A new autobiographical work by one of the most original and controversial thinkers of our time. I looked up every day from behind the bars to the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor. Her light shone brightly into a dark night. With these words, Wilhelm Reich described his experience as an enemy alien imprisoned on Ellis Island in the aftermath of the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor. American Odyssey, compiled from his correspondence and journals, chronicles Reich's first years in America. They were years of prodigious accomplishment in which he developed the orgone energy accumulator-the so-called orgone box; published his first books in English; made breakthroughs in his investigation of orgone energy in social pathology, physics, astronomy, and cancer; and interested none other than Albert Einstein in testing his theories. America brought a new marriage, a new son, a new group of students, and a new laboratory. But these were years of fierce struggle as well: the denial of an American medical license, the refusal of a patent on the orgone accumulator, and, finally, a slanderous article that would incite the Food and Drug Administration to the dogged attack on Reich that would continue until his death in another prison cell ten years later. American Odyssey reveals more than a period in the life of an embattled scientist. It discloses the social and intellectual life of a country in a tumultuous time in history. |
| wilhelm reich books: Jung and Reich John P. Conger, 2005-01-12 Although contemporaries, Carl Jung and Wilhelm Reich, two giants in the field of psychoanalysis, never met. What might have happened if they had is the inspiration behind this detailed investigation. Jung and Reich succinctly outlines each man's personality and compares their lives and their work, emphasizing points of convergence between them. John Conger provocatively puts Jung's mystical and psychological approach to spiritual disciplines on the same plane as Reich's controversial theories of genitality and character armor. The result is a heady what if? bound to intrigue and inspire readers. |

| wilhelm reich books: The Invasion of Compulsory Sex-Morality Wilhelm Reich, 2013-07-02 This study of the invasion of compulsory sexual morality into human society was written in 1931 and now appears for the first time in the English language. It preceded The Mass Psyhchology of Fascism and The Sexual Revolution and was Reich's first step in approaching the answer to the problem of human mass neuroses. Growing out of his involvement with the crucial question of the origin of sexual suppression, this attempt to explain historically the problem of sexual disturbances and neuroses draws upon the ethnological works of Morgan, Engels and, in particular, Malinowski, whose remarkable studies of the sexual life and customs of the primitive people of the Trobriand Islands confirmed Reich's clinical discoveries. |
| wilhelm reich books: The Orgone Accumulator Handbook James DeMeo, 2010 In the 1940s, Dr. Wilhelm Reich claimed discovery of a new form of energy. Declaring the orgone energy does not exist, U.S. courts ordered all books on the orgone subject to be banned. Reich was thrown into prison, where he died. Dr. DeMeo examines Reich's evidence and reports on his own observations and laboratory experiments, which confirm the reality of the orgone phenomenon. |
| wilhelm reich books: Contact with Space Wilhelm Reich, 1985-12-15 Contact With Space contains the result of six years of intensive research and fieldwork. It is a work of extraordinary depth and scope, containing hitherto top-secret information. It is an exposition of the newest developments in the technology of cosmic orgone engineering, involving the use of the Spacegun - an extension of the Cloudbuster made possible by the discovery of ORUR.Contact With Space examines the new basic energetic facts brought into the open by the Oranur Experiment, which impact various branches of functional science such as biophysics, medicine, astrophysics, meteorology, and chemistry. Written under unrelenting attack from conspiratorial commercial interests, this book gives some of the background into the difficult social and physical milieu in which this research was done, and conveys the excitement of the adventures that began the cosmic or atomic age. |
| wilhelm reich books: The Language of the Body Alexander Lowen, 2012-12-18 The Language of the Body, originally published as Physical Dynamics of Character Structure, brilliantly describes how personality is expressed in the form and function of the body. The body is the key to understanding behavior and working with the body is the key to psychological health. The Language of the Body outlines the foundations of character structure: schizoid, oral, masochistic, hysteric, and phallic narcissistic personality types. Dr. Lowen examines the relationship between psychoanalytic theory and body therapy. |

| wilhelm reich books: Jewish Exiles’ Psychological Interpretations of Nazism Avihu Zakai, 2021-09-15 This book examines works of four German-Jewish scholars who, in their places of exile, sought to probe the pathology of the Nazi mind: Wilhelm Reich’s The Mass Psychology of Fascism (1933), Erich Fromm’s Escape from Freedom (1941), Siegfried Kracauer’s From Caligari to Hitler: A Psychological History of the German Film (1947), and Erich Neumann’s Depth Psychology and a New Ethic (1949). While scholars have examined these authors’ individual legacies, no comparative analysis of their shared concerns has yet been undertaken, nor have the content and form of their psychological inquiries into Nazism been seriously and systematically analyzed. Yet, the sense of urgency in their works calls for attention. They all took up their pens to counter Nazi barbarism, believing, like the English jurist and judge Sir William Blackstone, who wrote in 1753 - scribere est agere (to write is to act). |
