Hi Michel,
Poor Richard commented on your link.
Poor wrote: "I've read most of Reich's work that's in print and consider him
a world-class philosopher, psychoanalyst, and experimental psychologist. He
did some of the first lab research on sex. I part ways with him on Orgone
energy, however. Much of the sexual/biological energy Reich observed is in
fact neurochemically produced and conducted. Orgone theory is largely
superfluous. Many of his speculations were not irrational but neither were
they borne out. Some of his questions about biological energy are still
unanswered and deserve to be researched. He was a genius who got over
excited about a particular line of inquiry and his judgment suffered. On the
other hand, his "Mass Psychology of Fascism" deserves to be read by every
psychologist, social/political scientist, and all students of human nature
and the human condition. His studies of authoritarianism and sexual
repression and metaphors such as "the emotional plague" and "the murder of
christ" have enormous utility in understanding how authoritarian pathology
is transmitted from one generation to the next. The video (part 1 of 3)
doesn't seem to make any distinction between the value of his psychological
work and his Orgone obsession."
