Description

We'll look at WRs life story very briefly, but concentrate on his political ideas and influence in various fields of study. Though it's hard to ignore the whole UFOs, cloudbusting and Orgone aspect, his political theories and academic influence but are barely sited. We'll go through his practical therapeutic work and his idea of 'work democracy' from "The Mass Psychology of Fascism". A force for liberation of the mind and body, Reich's work changed us and an understanding of his work can change us more.
