Wilhelm Reich

Robert S. Corrington

Robert S. Corrington offers the first thorough reconsideration of Wilhelm Reich’s life and work since Reich’s death in 1957. Reich was seventeen years old at the outbreak of World War I and had already witnessed the suicides of his mother and father. A native of Vienna, he became a disciple of Freud; but by his late twenties, having already written his classic The Function of the Orgasm, he fled the Third Reich and departed, too, from Freudian psychoanalysis.
