DESCRIPTION:
J. DeMeo said Wilhelm Reich Half-way and Sort-of. This book does a reasonable job to overview Reich's life and most of his early work, though it fails to be as thorough as for example Sharaf's "Fury On Earth: A Biography Of Wilhelm Reich". The author gives his impressions of Reich's work, a philosopher's discourse and comparative review of Reich's behavioral findings as they relate to modern ideas in psychiatry and psychology and on that matter he does a reasonable job.

Few important thinkers have been as marginalized as the psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich (1897-1957).

A stirring reappraisal of the brilliant, maligned psychoanalytic thinkerRobert 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. 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 prodigal genius and surrendered to his own paranoia and psychosis, an opinion still responsible for t
