Wilhelm Reich

psychiatrist Germany

Wilhelm Reich (1897–1957) was an Austrian-American psychiatrist and psychotherapist known for his controversial theories on sexuality and the human psyche. A former associate of Sigmund Freud, Reich developed the concept of 'orgone energy' and explored the intersection of psychology and political ideology, particularly in his works 'The Mass Psychology of Fascism' and 'Murder of Christ.' His ideas emphasized the role of emotional health in societal structures and the dangers of authoritarianism. Despite his scientific contributions, Reich's notoriety grew due to his unorthodox methods and beliefs, leading to legal troubles and his eventual imprisonment in the United States. His legacy continues to provoke debate in both psychological and political spheres.
