Character analysis by
Wilhelm Reich(
Book
)
186 editions published between 1858 and 2013 in 8 languages and held by 2,099 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Reich's classic work on the development and treatment of human character disorders, first published in 1933. As a young clinician in the 1920s, Wihelm Reich expanded psychoanalytic resistance into the more inclusive technique of character analysis, in which the sum total of typical character attitudes developed by an individual as a blocking against emotional excitations became the object of treatment. These encrusted attitudes functioned as an "armor," which Reich later found to exist simultaneously in chronic muscular spasms. Thus mind and body came together and character analysis opened the way to a biophysical approach to disease and the prevention of it

Selected writings; an introduction to orgonomy by

)
45 editions published between 1951 and 2013 in English and held by 799 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Wilhelm Reich (March 24, 1897 - November 3, 1957) was an Austrian-American psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, known as one of the most radical figures in the history of psychiatry. ... Reich worked with Sigmund Freud in the 1920s and was a respected analyst for much of his life, focusing on character structure rather than on individual neurotic symptoms. He tried to reconcile Marxism and psychoanalysis, arguing that neurosis is rooted in the physical, sexual, economic, and social conditions of the patient, and promoted adolescent sexuality, the availability of contraceptives, abortion, and divorce, and the importance for women of economic independence. His work influenced a generation of intellectuals, including Saul Bellow, William S. Burroughs, Paul Edwards, Norman Mailer, A.S. Neill, and Robert Anton Wilson, and shaped innovations such as Fritz Perls's Gestalt therapy, Alexander Lowen's bioenergetic analysis, and Arthur Janov's primal therapy. Later in life he became a controversial figure who was both adored and condemned. He began to violate some of the key taboos of psychoanalysis, e.g. developing body psychotherapy, thus using touch during sessions. After some years of microbiological research ("bions") he said he had discovered a primordial cosmic energy, which he called "orgone". He built orgone energy accumulators that his patients sat inside to harness the reputed health benefits, leading to newspaper stories about sex boxes that cured cancer."--Wikipedia, Nov. 2011

Sex-pol; essays, 1929-1934 by
Wilhelm Reich(
Book
)
18 editions published between 1966 and 2014 in English and Undetermined and held by 753 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
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

92 editions published between 1946 and 2013 in 6 languages and held by 743 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"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

The invasion of compulsory sex-morality by
Wilhelm Reich(
Book
)
22 editions published between 1971 and 2013 in English and German and held by 561 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
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

The sexual revolution; toward a self-regulating character structure by
Wilhelm Reich(
Book
)
15 editions published between 1974 and 2013 in English and Undetermined and held by 556 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
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. "What we are living through," Reich states, "is a genuine, deep-reaching revolution of cultural living [which] goes to the roots of our emotional, social, and economic existence ... The senses of the animal, man, for his natural life functions are awakening from a sleep of thousands of years."

Eine Kritik des Faschismus lässt sich ohne Wilhelm Reichs Massenpsychologie des Faschismus nicht mehr denken. Als erster durchschaute Reich mit seinem klinisch und soziologisch geschulten Blick den fundamentalen Zusammenhang zwischen autoritärer Triebunterdrückung und faschistischer Ideologie. Er analysiert in der Massenpsychologie die Gestik, Phraseologie, die moralischen Schemata und Aktionen der "Hitlerei" und weist in ihnen die Verschiebung von Sexualangst zu einem Mystizismus nach, der zu einem irrationalen Mechanismus chronischer Abhängigkeit führt. In der vorliegenden Ausgabe sieht Reich den Faschismus nicht mehr auf einzelne Staaten beschränkt, sondern erkennt ihn als Gefahr der modernen Massengesellschaft überhaupt

The murder of Christ : the emotional plague of mankind by
Wilhelm Reich(
Book
)
36 editions published between 1953 and 1979 in English and Undetermined and held by 390 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
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

Children of the future : on the prevention of sexual pathology by
Wilhelm Reich(
Book
)
6 editions published between 1983 and 1984 in English and held by 310 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Translated by Derek and Inge JordanIn Children of the Future, Wilhelm Reich shows how disastrous the exclusion of genitality is to the young and its important influence on their development. In his 1932 work The Sexual Rights of Youth, published here in its revised form, Reich speaks in terms of what he sees as the real meaning of the sexual enlightenment of youth: it is not the mystery and dangers of procreation, but the essential nature of sexuality and the right of youth to genital gratification. Reich presents a new way of seeing the parental compulsion to teach. In other chapters, Reich examines attitudes toward infantile masturbation, the source of the human no, and special disturbances of the young. Reichs work is substantiated by his concrete observations and experiences with children, including case studies from the Orgonomic Infant Research Center

The cancer biopathy by
Wilhelm Reich(
Book
)
29 editions published between 1948 and 2018 in 3 languages and held by 276 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
A Shrinking Disease Due to Chronic Sexual Starvation What is cancer' Traditionally, medical science has thought of it as an invasive tumor arising spontaneously in an otherwise healthy organism. In contrast, Wilhelm Reich defines cancer not as a tumor--the tumor is merely a late manifestation of the disease--but as a systemic disease due to chronic thwarting of natural sexual functioning. In this radically different scientific investigation of a process that ends, literally, in the putrefaction of the living body due to chronic suffocation of the tissues, Reich has arrived at the conclusion that "cancer is the most significant somatic expression of the biophysiological effect of sexual stasis." If this is so, there is a far greater possibility for the prevention of cancer than for its treatment. The Cancer Biopathy is Volume II of The Discovery of the Orgone. Volume I is The Function of the Orgasm

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."

Rédigé entre 1930 et 1933, pendant les terribles années de crise en Allemagne, ce livre demeure une contribution capitale à la compréhension du fascisme. Refusant d'y voir l'idéologie ou l'action d'un individu isolé, rejetant de même l'explication purement socio-économique avancée par les marxistes, Reich considère le fascisme comme l'expression de la structure caractérielle irrationnelle de l'individu moyen, dont les besoins et les pulsions primaires, biologiques, ont été réprimées depuis des millénaires. Aussi, toute forme de mysticisme organisé, dont le fascisme, s'explique-t-elle par le désir orgastique insatisfait des masses
