Thank you.Eustace Chesser – Salvation Through Sex – The Life And Work Of Wilhelm Reich (1973)Here is a basic introduction to the life and work of Wilhelm Reich, Freud’s most radical disciple, who died in Lewisburg Penitentiary in 1957. Reich’s work has become increasingly popular in recent years, and for good reason, since his concepts of individual freedom, sexual freedom, and the natural society are echoed in many of the ideals of the past decade.    But Reich’s ideas are often misunderstood, through his interpreters’ unfortunate concentration on the more bizarre aspects of his later work; and thus there is a perpetuation of his reputation as a crank, to the detriment of his very real claims to genius. And so there is an urgent need for a layman’s guide to Reich that defines, in clear and nontechnical terms, the essence and meaning of his thought. Salvation Through Sex fulfills  this need.EUSTACE CHESSER is a psychiatrist and  teacher and international expert on sexual  pathology. His books, which have made him  world famous, include Love Without Fear  and Strange Loves: The Human Aspects of  Sexual Deviation (William Morrow, 1971 ).TOC:1.
