DESCRIPTION

Robert Anton Wilson's outstanding play about the tragically persecuted psychiatrist who completed Freud's trinity of favored disciples along with Jung & Adler provides an insightful & entertaining introduction to the brilliant ideas & experiments of a scientist condemned as immoral by U.S. Government & private health authorities, leading to his incarceration and the burning of his personal library, private notebooks, journals and laboratory equipment. Some will have heard of "Orgone" ~ Reich's word for sexual energy, whose repression he linked to the rise of totalitarian regimes in history (See: 'The Mass Psychology of Fascism' in the soon-to-be-created Wilhelm Reich collection). Wilson's play has been performed to acclaim in Dublin and Santa Cruz, CA ... Foreword by Christopher S. Hyatt, PhD and Donald Holmes, M.D.excerpt:"The ability to defineis the ability to destroy.It's taught to every little girl,it's taught to every boy."
