Hardcover. Condition: Very Good+. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Third Edition. Expanding a 1928 paper "On Character Analysis" that forged the way for "a new epoch in psychoanalysis,'' Reich here incorporates Freud's notion of "overcoming resistances" in the patient to examine "character resistances" that serve as a type of armor, & that must be overcome. Since the publication of the first edition of this work in 1933, published in German, & a second edition in English in 1945, this current Third Enlarged Edition from 1949 further expands his theories with his work on "cosmic orgone energy" & new understanding of the biological basis of neurosis.

He escaped the Nazi take-over of Austria and emigrated to the United States in 1939. After Pearl Harbor, he was arrested and detained for three weeks by the FBI and it wasn't until 1947 when the US determined that he and the Oregone Institute weren't engaged in subversive activities.

In 1952, the FDA issued an injunction that all orgone equipment be destroyed and all related literature be seized. In 1956, six tons of Reich's papers, journals and books were burned.
