Written by a former patient, student, and assistant of Wilhelm Reich, this biography recounts the life and career of the controversial psychoanalyst and argues that most forms of therapy practiced today include some idea that Reich pioneered "Interweaving a thorough examination of Reich's psychiatric theories and techniques, scientific experiments and grandiose claims, with his stormy person life and deteriorating mental balance, [Sharaf] achieves an impressive portrait of a complicated, tragic figure. . . . His work is a psycho-biography on the order of Erikson's studies of Luther and Gandhi, for he analyzes Reich's achievements in light of his personal conflicts, achieving a unified portrait of a highly complex innovator."--Los Angeles Times "What is amazing is that Sharaf has managed to turn a definitive biography into such absolutely compulsive reading."--Colin Wilson, author of The Quest for Wilhelm Reich Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

A tour de force in the field of biography. Particularly interesting is the introduction in which Sharaf discusses his personal relationship with Reich and why his feelings toward Reich are both positive and negative. He believed that by getting his biases out of the way up front he could do a more even-handed job of presenting Reich's life. I think he succeeded. (My own bias is that I met the author in the 1970s and liked him very much.) ( )
