1. Wilhelm Reich (Wikipedia). Overview:
Wilhelm Reich (24 March 1897 3 November 1957) was an Austrian doctor of medicine and a psychoanalyst, a member of the second generation of analysts after Sigmund Freud. The author of several influential books, The Impulsive Character (1925), The Function of the Orgasm (1927), Character Analysis (1933), and The Mass Psychology of Fascism (1933), he became one of the most radical figures in the history of psychiatry.(Submitted on July 2, 2025.)
2. Wilhelm Reich (Selskabet For Oslo Byes Vel). Excerpt (in translation):
As a strong critic of Nazism, the Austrian Reich had to flee Germany. Via Denmark and Sweden, he came to Norway in 1934, where he settled at Drammensveien 110. He lived here until 1939, when he moved to the United States. In the 1930s, Reich developed a direction in psychoanalysis called character analysis. He also developed a psychotherapeutic treatment technique called vegetotherapy. There was constant controversy surrounding Reich and his studies. It is his early contributions to psychotherapy that are of greatest importance, and which are today considered recognized studies.(Submitted on July 2, 2025.)
