Wilhelm Reich vs. the U.S.A
Good book.
Inside front of book cover :
Wilhelm Reich died on November 3, 1957,
in a federal penitentiary. It was an ironic
ending to one of the most extraordinary
scientific careers of the twentieth century,
and to a strange, shameful chapter in
American legal history.
Reich was a brilliant pupil under Freud
until he broke away to establish his own
version of psychotherapy. Today a genera-
tion of Reichian therapists carry on his
work, and many of his formulations are
considered basic to all schools of psy-
chiatry.
In 1938 Reich came to the United States
to escape the political pressures of Europe
and to pursue his research into orgone
energy. According to Reich, orgone is an
omnipresent biophysical force, the key not
only to human neurosis but to various
physical diseases, social behavior, and
even to weather patterns. But Reich was
soon again the focus of controversy. His
theories challenged many accepted scien-
tific beliefs, and the press branded him as a
crackpot and a fraud. In 1947 the Food
and Drug Administration moved to prevent
Reich from distributing an experimental
device for accumulating orgone energy.
This book describes the bitter crusade
waged against Reich by the FDA. Resort-
ing to unconstitutional and unethical
means, the FDA harassed Reich and led
him into a legal tangle that disrupted his
work and cost him his sanity. In 1955 the
FDA destroyed Reich's accumulators and
all available copies of his books. His
theories on orgone have never been ade-
quately tested, least of all by the FDA. and
there is today mounting evidence to suggest
that he was right.
On backcover of book:
"Profoundly felt, superbly balanced, this account of
the insensate persecution of Dr. Wilhelm Reich could
still bring on his triumph. Whether his spectacular
scientific ideas prove out or not, the moral value of
his ordeal and martyrdom is brought to us with
tremendous force. Jerome Greenfield's book should
arouse enormous interest in this great mind and soul
of our time, driven over the edge of unbalance by
aggressive bureaucracy, jealousies, conspiracies, igno-
rance, book-burnings, imprisonment. Perhaps Reich
had streaks of arrogance, streaks of madness, but
today many of his teachings and life-attitudes are
accepted and widely practiced; tomorrow, essential
elements of his far-out science may prove valid.
This powerful, carefully controlled study has the
fascination of gospel."
— Meyer Levin"
