Comprendere la natura del fascismoQuesto importante testo fu scritto durante gli anni della crisi tedesca, 1930-33, ed in seguito bandito dai nazisti, ed è un contributo senza eguale alla comprensione di uno dei fenomeni cruciali anche dei nostri tempi, il fascismo. Reich applica la sua conoscenza clinica della struttura caratteriale umana alla scena sociale e politica e respinge fermamente il concetto che il fascismo sia l’ideologia o l’azione di un singolo individ...

This is a human, not a scientific document. It was written in the summer of 1946 for the Archives of the Orgone Institute, although there are indications in the Archives that the manuscript evolved between 1943 and 1946. At the time Reich had no intention of publishing it. This work reflects the inner turmoil of a research physician and scientist who had observed the little man for many years and seen, first with astonishment and then with horror, what he does to himself.Reich's appeal to ...

Reich's classic work on the development and treatment of human character disorders, first published in 1933. As a young clinician in the 1920s, Wilhelm 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 si...

Wilhelm Reich's classic study, written during the years of the German crisis, is a unique contribution to the understanding of one of the crucial phenomena of our times-fascism. Reich firmly repudiates the concept that fascism is the ideology or action of a single individual or nationality, or any ethnic or political group. He also denies a purely socio-economic explanation as advanced by Marxist ideologists. He understands fascism as the expression of the irrational character structure of...

Figli del futuro raccoglie scritti di Wilhelm Reich del 1950, pensati come un lascito intellettuale e politico alle generazioni successive. L'argomento centrale è radicale nella sua semplicità: il bambino che nasce è un essere vivente biologicamente sano, capace di autoregolazione, e sono le istituzioni umane — la famiglia patriarcale, la chiesa, lo stato, la medicina convenzionale — a deformarlo sistematicamente fin dai primi giorni di vita, producendo quello che Reich chiama l'"...

Durante veinte años, Reich investigó una sola pregunta: ¿por qué sufren tantos seres humanos? La respuesta la encontró en el cuerpo. La represión sexual no es solo un hecho psíquico: se inscribe en los músculos, bloquea la energía vital y produce individuos ansiosos, obedientes, fácilmente dominados. La salud —la verdadera salud— depende de la capacidad de entregarse plenamente al placer.Un libro que atraviesa el psicoanálisis, la política y la biología. Provocador en 1942, incómod...

Wilhelm Reich was born in Austro-Hungary in 1897. By the 1920s, Reich had become a doctor of medicine and taken his place as a prominent psychoanalyst in Sigmund Freud's inner circle. He went on to focus his attention on the relationship between the emotional, physiological and physical functions of the biological energy underlying human emotional experience, which he called orgone. He saw psyche and soma as a unified whole and the goal of therapy to balance the body's energy metabolism by...

What is cancer? Traditionally, medical science has thought of it as an invasive tumor arising spontaneously in an otherwise healthy organism. Consequently, it has naïvely devised increasingly intricate techniques to eradicate the tumor and treat its complications. These techniques have had varying degrees of success.In contrast, 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 s...

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 re...
