A series of six programmes 4: Wilhelm Reich
'The main problem people have in evaluating me and my work lies not with me but with themselves.'
Psychologist Wilhelm Reich was rejected by Freud, expelled from the Communist Party, hounded out of Norway and arrested in the United States. He believed that sexual repression underlies all psychological and many social problems. His ideas were too radical and challenging for his time and place.
'As a result of universal sexual repression, men and women have lost the ability to experience the ultimate surrender to "orgastic potency".' Presented by Hugh Sykes Reader MICHAEL MELLINGER Researcher MIKE WOOLF
