ABOUT THIS BOOK:
"The Function of the Orgasm" advances what is perhaps the most radical, most widely acclaimed, theory of contemporary psychology - the theory that total health, both mental and physical, is impossible in the absence of complete sexual satisfaction and that, in every case, restriction of the sexual urge leads to neurosis. Freud's most controversial disciple, Wilhelm Reich, addressed the theory of orgone energy to adolescents as well as adults, advocating unrestricted sexual freedom for all.(Publisher).
