This classic book offers a comprehensive understanding of medical orgone therapy. Developed by Wilhelm Reich, M.D., this unique treatment incorporates an energetic understanding of how the mind and body are interconnected. With the failure of psychoanalysis to live up to expectations, the psychiatric pendulum has shifted in the direction of treatment with medications. Reich's clinical discoveries of more than 50 years ago have provided us with medical orgone therapy, an effective method of treatment that does not rely on medication. Man in the Trap, written in a straightforward style, will help readers better understand both medical orgone therapy, orgonomy and themselves.

After spending 10 years and thousands of dollars for psychoanalysis, actor Orson Bean was divorced, depressed and dissatisfied with life. Then he discovered medical orgone therapy. Wilhelm Reich, M.D. developed this unique method of treatment based on the science of orgonomy which centers on the idea that one must free one's emotional and physical blocks to experience genuine feelings. Here is the candid, deeply personal story of Orson's experience with medical orgone therapy and how it triggered his own sexual revolution.

In this book Ola Raknes presents important aspects of the life and work of Wilhelm Reich and describes how Reich discovered orgone energy. Raknes, a close friend of Reich, has written his book in three parts. The first deals with Reich's logical, step-by-step development of ideas, based on his clinical experience and scientific experimentation. In the second part he presents basic facts about orgonomy, the science of orgone energy, and how natural science and human functioning can be understood from an energetic point of view. The third part is concerned with the orgonomic concept of health and its social consequences. This book is for anyone fascinated by nature, from the general public to physicians and psychiatrists, to other scientific and mental health professionals.

In this far-reaching, extensively researched, scholarly work, psychiatrist Charles Konia, M.D. makes the first comprehensive exploration and development of the concepts first published in Wilhelm Reich's 1933 The Mass Psychology of Fascism. Dr. Konia's groundbreaking, highly original book examines from a unique, non-psychological perspective this pathology in human nature that has given us the likes of Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, an Saddam Hussein. This book will open your eyes to why every "great" social program failed in its original mission; why America is increasingly hated throughout the world; why a handful of despotic leaders can enslave millions of people; and why standards of decency and excellence continue to decline.

Clueless: The Great Human Disconnect

Clueless: The Great Human Disconnect is a nonfiction book written by Charles Konia, M.D., a bio-psychiatrist, that defines "clueless" as a critical reality of primary importance, an obstacle to solving humanity's social difficulties. It is a state of being "out of it" and afflicts individuals who are "armored," that is, defended against feeling and perceiving their inner emotions. This renders them out of touch with themselves, others, and events in the world. Clueless describes symptoms and adverse consequences of this state both for the individual and society, as well as its destructive history throughout human existence.

Neither Left Nor Right: Preventing America's Decline Into Socialism

Ever since humans have taken charge of their lives and governed themselves they have shown that they were unable to do so. Every good social idea and rational social endeavor has sooner or later backfired and made conditions worse than they were. Think of the communist revolutions of the 20th century, the revolution in Iran, Wilson's dream of a League of Nations, the Arab Spring.  People's attempt to govern themselves naturally led to looking for political solutions. However, it soon became apparent that politics was not the answer since it quickly became bogged down in a battle between two divergent outlooks, the views of the Left and the Right. Yet no one has ever asked what is the origin of people's different views of the same social situation creating a conflict between these opposing forces.  This book shows that the problem has to do with the way people look for solutions. They always look from outside of themselves never from within. In Neither Left Nor Right the reader will learn that the origin of humanity's social problems originates not primarily from external political forces impinging on people, but from biological forces operating unconsciously from within their own organism. This is the reason that political solutions always have and always will fail. Therefore, for genuine social improvement to occur there have to be fundamental changes in the way people look and think about themselves and the world. This book provides an in depth understanding of the biological forces at work governing human social and political behavior and thinking.  Neither Left Nor Right picks up where the author's previous book, The Emotional Plague, The Root of Human Evil left off. It is a distillation and an expansion of the political material contained in that book.
