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 and themselves.
