520 1 $a"Robert S. Corrington offers the first thorough reconsideration of the great and maligned psychoanalyst 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 and a disciple of Freud, he broke with the master in his classic The Function of the Orgasm (1927). In 1939, having fled Hitler's Germany, he established a visionary new school of psychology in America." "In The Mass Psychology of Fascism, Reich first took the now commonplace position that oppressive social structures are rooted in individual sexual behavior and repression. But the psychoanalytic community was made uncomfortable by this claim, and it was said - by the time of Reich's death in an American prison on dubious charges brought by the federal government - that Reich had squandered his genius and surrendered to his own paranoia and psychosis, an opinion still responsible for the neglect and misapprehension of Reich's contribution to psychology." "In this psychobiography, Corrington illuminates the themes and obsessions that unify Reich's work and reports on Reich's fascinating, unrelenting one-man quest to probe the ultimate structures of self, world, and cosmos."--BOOK JACKET.
