The Function of the Orgasm

Focusing on the evolution of Wilhelm Reich's theories, the book explores his journey from a prominent psychoanalyst in Freud's circle to a pioneer in understanding the connection between emotional and physical health through the concept of orgone energy. It delves into his innovative ideas about the psyche-soma relationship and the significance of orgasm in achieving emotional and physical balance. The narrative serves as a scientific autobiography, chronicling his formative experiences and intellectual developments over two transformative decades.
