		REICH, WILHELM [Reich, Wilhelm], 1897-1957, Austrian psychiatrist and biophysicist.
		According to Reich's theories the universe is permeated by a primal, mass-free phenomenon that he called orgone energy; in the human organism the lack of repeated total discharge of this energy through natural sexual release is considered the genesis not only of all individual neurosis but also of irrational social movements and collective neurotic disorder.
		Reich invented the orgone box, a device that he claimed would restore energy but that was declared a fraud by the Food and Drug Administration.

	The Wilhelm Reich Museum - Biography
		Reich confirmed the existence of this energy in the human body, verified its presence in the atmosphere, developed instrumentation to observe and collect it, and harnessed it for a variety of purposes from cancer treatment to motor power to weather experimentation.
		Reich’s clinical work also led him to develop new therapeutic techniques to eliminate the patient’s character and muscular armor and allow for the flow and discharge of this bio-energy to achieve what he called “orgastic potency,” the capacity for total discharge of sexual excitation in the genital embrace.
		From this, Reich concluded that pleasure is the movement of biological energy toward the periphery of the organism, while anxiety is the movement of this energy toward the center.

	Wilhelm Reich Lecture
		Shortly after Wilhelm's brother Robert was born, due to trauma associated with his childbirth, she had to go away to spas for a health cure and Wilhelm took this as abandonment.
		Reich's case study of fascism was largely responsible for his expulsion from both the psychoanalytic institute and the Communist party.
		It is incontestable that Reich is one of the seminal thinkers and practitioners of twentieth century psychology.

	Wilhelm Reich's War With Space
		Reich had learned in May that the cloudbuster not only apparently pulled rain out of clouds, but also drained energy from lights in the sky, making it, in his words, a "spacegun" effective against UFOs.
		Reich's claims to the contrary, the FDA had determined that orgone did not exist, and so had obtained an injunction against any medical treatment purporting to effect cures through orgone manipulation.
		Reich, convinced that the aliens were waging their "war" against Earth by poisoning its orgone, creating deserts, decided to test his spacegun in the drought-wracked wastes north of Tucson, AZ.

	Notes on
		Reich believed rather than stifle a child's sexual impulses, on the contrary they should be fostered and encouraged, and there should be total freedom of sexual expression.
		Reich appears to identify factors in childhood, youth and adulthood which are harmful and determine the inability to develop orgastic potency, it is important to note the elements of suppression and repression contained in each area:
		Reich argued that the institution of marriage should be optional and that those who do get married should be permitted to take vows for limited time periods making divorce cheap and easy if love, or sexual satisfaction, is no longer apparent.

	Wilhelm Reich's Contact With Space
		On January 28, 1954, Wilhelm Reich "happened accidentally to observe two bright yellow-orange lights moving in front of a mountain range toward a lake." The encounter was the opening salvo of a "war" with UFOs that would occupy the final phases of Reich's troubled medical and scientific career.
		Reich found an inexhaustible range of uses for his discovery, touting orgone as everything from the secret of antigravity to a tool for weather control, especially rainmaking.
		As Reich was scanning the sky with a "cloudbuster," a device he had designed to draw orgone out of the sky in order to induce rain, he saw a star "fade out" in the presence of three other witnesses.

	Wilhelm Reich nad Orgone
		Reich worked on his own version of biophysics for many years but by 1933 he had to leave Germany as Hitler's Nazi regime and the threat to his own well-being increased.
		Reich claimed that the particles he could see in the microscope were actually an unidentified energy or radiation form which in turn caused the conjunctivitis and tanning.
		Reich was excited to have a chance to discuss his theories with Einstein but shattered when Einstein was too wrapped up in his own theories to get involved in Reich's.

		Wilhelm Reich was born in the easternmost part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the German Ukraine on March 24, 1897.
		Reich called this capacity for gratification "orgastic potency." Previously, sexual problems were considered only symptoms and not the core of the neurosis, and erective potency was believed to be evidence of adequate sexual functioning.
		Thus Reich made three major discoveries which opened a vast opportunity for understanding human functioning and whose value cannot be overestimated: the reality of the libido (it is a flow of energy), the function of the orgasm (it regulates the flow of energy), and the muscular armor (it prevents regulation of energy).

		Wilhelm Reich was a physician and psychoanalyst who conducted clinical practice and basic research in the 1920s through the 1950s.
		Reich's unfailing emphasis on the role of sexuality in the lives of individuals and the cosmos, his radical view of the family and social institutions as agents of repression, his involvement with the Communist Party, and his eventual fascination with UFOs and cloudbusting were (and still are) controversial.
		I chose to research the life of Wilhelm Reich because he was a highly visible and extremely controversial figure in the history of psychology, and yet he is often overlooked in textbooks and courses on that subject.

	A Skeptical Scrutiny of the Works and Theories of Wilhelm Reich
		Wilhelm Reich (1898-1957) is one of the most colorful characters ever to tackle the mysteries of the universe.
		Reich eventually fled Germany for Norway in 1933 for fear of the rising power of the Nazis, who showed a great deal of enmity toward members of the Communist Party (even former members).
		And despite Reich's insistence to the contrary, Orgonomy is a religion, filled with sacred truths which can never be experimentally verified, a single central theme which tries to explain everything in the universe, a Fall from Grace in the mythical past, and even a Christ figure in Reich himself.

	orgone energy, Wilhelm Reich
		Reich claimed that orgone energy is omnipresent and accounts for such things as the color of the sky, gravity, galaxies, the failure of most political revolutions, and a good orgasm.
		Reich believed that orgone energy is "demonstrable visually, thermically, electroscopically and by means of Geiger-Mueller counters."* However, only true believers in orgone energy (i.e., orgonomists practicing the science of orgonomy) have been able to find success with the demonstrations.

		Reich's case for galactic formation by cosmic superimposition, then, becomes one of analogy, based on observation of spiral galaxies and circular motion, and a qualitative description of the "spiraling together" of orgone energy streams.

		As a young clinician in the 1920s, Wihelm 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.
		Wilhelm Reich was many things in his lifetime- a student of Freud, a political activist, a research scientist, and an inventor.
		Reich was not always the most trenchant writer, but here is writing his sharp, direct, and provocative.

	Body Armour - Wilhelm Reich
		However, I do notice that at the time of writing Reich was 25 years old, and Freud was 66, and I believe that this had to have a bearing on their many battles.
		Reich began to see all this as a political problem, and joined the Communist party in 1927, thinking idealistically that they had the answer.
		However, Reich's use of forceful touch to break down body armour and with this, emotional blocks to healing, is very similar to a therapy called Bindegewebearbeit (translation: connective tissue work) developed by a Czechoslovakian doctor around the same timespan, 1930ish, in Bratislava.
