Unsexed Reich.
N. Szajnberg, MD 9-3-11
Sex sells, still. Psychotic sex even better. And if you can screw
psychoanalysis while reviewing a sex book, maybe improves the Amazon
ratings. How***s this for an eyeball grabber:
***Slice them where you will, any collection of psychoanalysts is as mad
as a parliament. Novelty beards, whirling eyes, twitches, deranged
clothing, tics, jitters and habits you wouldn***t want to go into. But
Wilhelm Reich (1897-1957) was the maddest of the lot ***

XVIII. Freud***s Free Clinics: Psychoanalysis and Social Justice,
1918-1938 by Elizabeth Ann Danto
Reviewed by Marilyn S. Jacobs, PhD, ABPP, Vol. 26 (2), 40-41
***In Freud***s Free Clinics: Psychoanalysis and Social Justice,
1918-1938, Danto tells the story of how the beginning of
psychoanalysis was intertwined with the European progressive social
movement. Thus, at its inception, the clinical practice of
psychoanalysis ***conformed to the social-democratic political ideology
that prevailed in post World War I Vienna*** (p. 2). The early
psychoanalysts expressed this commitment by providing services to the
working classes and the poor. From 1920 until 1938, psychoanalytic
treatment centers were opened in ten cities and seven countries,
including Vienna, Berlin and Budapest. The author interprets this
trend as due to *** *** the heady climate of progressivism and social
movements between the two world, wars *** (in which) *** psychoanalysis
was supposed to share in the transformation of civil society, and
these new outpatient treatment centers were to help restore people to
their inherently good and productive selves*** (p. 3). The author
describes how the involvement of the first psychoanalysts was intended
to promote liberation and contribute to the struggle for a better
world.***
