The Mass Psychology of Fascism by Wilhelm Reich Paperback Book

Description: FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE The Mass Psychology of Fascism by Wilhelm Reich The only authorised edition, translated from the original German. FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Wilhelm Reichs classic study is a unique contribution to the understanding of one of the crucial phenomena of our times - fascism. Reich firmly repudiates the concept that fascism is the ideology or action of a single individual or nationality, or of any ethnic or political group. He also denies a purely socio-economic explanation as advanced by Marxian ideologists. He understands fascism as the expression of irrational character structure of the average human being whose primary biological needs and impulses have been suppressed for thousands of years.The social function of this suppression and the crucial role played in it by the authoritarian family and the church are carefully analysed. Reich shows how every form of organised mysticism, including fascism, relies on the unsatisfied orgastic longing of the masses. Notes This was a classic study, written in Germany between 1930 and 1933, and subsequently banned by the Nazis. An important work. Author Biography Wilhelm Reich(1897-1957) was an Austrian doctor of medicine and psychoanalyst. He wrote several books, most notably Character Analysis (1933), The Mass Psychology of Fascism (1933), and The Sexual Revolution (1936). Review Written in 1942 with the terrible reality of Nazism all around, Reichs book is as relevant now as it was then. * New Psychiatry *Reich really strikes to the core of fascisms mass appeal. His analysis of the twentieth centurys dangerous inhibition of sexual instincts, and his reasons why... people attach such significance to the concepts of law and order and the family have become important contributions to the study of crowd control and manipulation. It is very easy to see why this book was banned by the Nazis. -- Gongster * The University of Nottingham * Promotional The only authorised edition of this classic text, newly translated from the original German Long Description The only authorised edition, translated from the original German.
