Reich, Wilhelm (1897–1957)

Austrian physician who emigrated to the USA in 1939. He combined Marxism and psychoanalysis to advocate the positive effects of directed sexual energies and sexual freedom. His works include Die Sexuelle Revolution/The Sexual Revolution (1936–45) and Die Funktion des Orgasmus/The Function of the Orgasm (1948).

He held the view that neuroses were the result of repressed sexual energy that could be released only through orgasm. He extended Freud's hypothesis that sexuality determines personality, and concluded that orgastically potent individuals will spontaneously seek to do what is good and right.
