Description:
In 1949, Wilhelm Reich conducted a series of clinical lectures and discussions with physicians at his home in Forest Hills, New York, in which he formulated the basic principles of orgone therapy and focused on specific problems and possibilities in its practice. Reich preserved these historic lectures and discussions on wire recordings, enabling those who could not study with Reich to learn from him directly. These recordings provide an opportunity to experience the vitality of Reich’s presence and the logic and depth of his thought.
