Wilhelm Reich

In this classic study, Reich provides insight into the phenomenon of fascism, which continues to ravage the international community in ways great and small. Drawing on his medical expereinces with men and women of various classes, races, nations, and religious beliefs, Reich refutes the still generally held notion that fascism is a specific characteristic of certain nationalities or a political party ideology that is imposed on innocent people by means of force or political manneuvers. "Fascism on only the organized political expression of the structure of the average man's character. It is the basic emotional civilization and its mechanistic-mystical conception of life."--Wilhelm Reich Responsibility for the elimination of fascism thus results with the masses of average people who might otherwise support and champion it.

Third Edition

The Mass Psychology of Fascism

Listen, little man!

The German psychologist describes his theories of psychoanalysis and the biological and psychological bases of neuroses

Character Analysis

This book describes Reich's medical and scientific work onthe living organism from his first efforts at the Medical School of the University of Vienna in 1919 to the laboratory experiments in Oslo in 1939 which revealed the existence of a radiating biological energy, orgone energy. The subject of "sexuality" is basic to this work, and Reich shows clearly its importance for human life and its relevance in understanding the social problems of our time.

Discovery of the Orgone

The Function of the Orgasm

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.

Toward a Self-Regulating Character Structure

The Sexual Revolution

Early Writings, Vol. 1

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 Invasion of Compulsory Sex-Morality

The Biological Investigation of Sexuality and Anxiety is composed of three essential contributions from the period: "The Orgasm as an Electrophysical 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

Ether, God and Devil, Cosmic Superimposition

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 a systemic disease due to chronic thwaring 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 suffocatin of the tissues, Reich has arrived at the conclusion that "cancer is the most significant somatic expression of biophysiological effect of sexual stasis." If this is so, there is a far greater possibility for 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.

The Cancer Biopathy

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.

The Murder of Christ

This anthology is not intended to replace any of the works of Wilhelm Reich, but rather to serve as an introduction to them. The chapters include material from The Function of the Orgasm; The Cancer Biopathy; Character Analysis; Ether, God and Devil; Cosmic Superimposition and The Murder of Christ. In addition the volume reprints many important later articles from various journals.

خطاب إلى الرجل الصغير

En 1945 W. Reich firmó con Paidós el contrato cediendo los derechos para la edición castellana de este libro. En 1955 estaba publicado, presentando a Reich por primera vez en nuestro idioma. Ya por entonces la obra de este psicoanalista disidente era motivo de controversia acompañada por el entusiasta aplauso de algunos y el decidido rechazo de los más. Las ediciones siguientes encontraron una situación muy diferente a la que lo rodeó en las dos oportunidades anteriores: el autor, muerto (1957), ha sido revalorizado por un vasto público en todo el mundo y su obra está suscitando un pujante y creciente interés.
