The Function of the Orgasm

This book offers a scientific autobiography of Wilhelm Reich, a prominent psychoanalyst who initially worked within Freud's circle and later focused on the interconnectedness of emotional, physiological, and physical functions through his concept of orgone energy. It traces his personal and professional journey from his early days in psychoanalysis through his later explorations of human energy and health. Balancing historical insights with scientific discovery, the book highlights Reich's innovative ideas on the unity of mind and body.
