Wilhelm Reich
Wilhelm Reich was an Austrian-American psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who made significant contributions to the field of psychoanalysis.
He focused on character structure and promoted ideas about sexuality, contraception, and women's economic independence.
Reich's work influenced various writers and thinkers, but he became increasingly controversial due to his theories on "orgone" energy and his political views.
His conflict with the FDA led to the burning of his publications and his imprisonment.
Reich died in jail in 1957, leaving behind a complex legacy that continues to spark debate in scientific and psychiatric circles.
