After the initial discussion of observable pulsatory processes at the physiological level, the study follows a developmental chronology from conception to maturity, with chapters on intrauterine influences, birth and breathing, perceptual development, the development of patterns of muscular tension and holding, verticality and laterality, pleasure and ite inhibition, personality structure as observed in body structure, the function of the orgasm, and the evolution of personality a s related to the basic processes of human evolution. Personality is discussed in terms of observable pulsatory processes ( breathing, emotional expression, orgasm ) and of blocks to these processes. The concept of sensory blocking is proposed as an addition to Reich’s concept of ‘character armor’ which is itself evaluated from a developmental standpoint with emphasis on the origins of blocks to pulsation. Evidence from physiology and from the fields of developmental, perceptual and social psychology as well as recent sexological research is adduced in support of the basic thesis that personality can be seen as the sum of the organism’s capacity for pulsation and of the blocks to this pulsation.as always a big appreciation goes to trance33 for doing all the amazing OCRs for everything I have been scanning and I don’t always mention her name.Access times:Contributors: Now, ratio-freeVIP+: 2 WeeksPU+: 8 WeeksUsers: upgrade to Power User
