Character Analysis

Expanding a 1928 paper "On Character Analysis" that forged the way for "a new epoch in psychoanalysis,'' Reich here incorporates Freud's notion of "overcoming resistances" in the patient to examine "character resistances" that serve as a type of armor, & that must be overcome. Since the publication of the first edition of this work in 1933, published in German, & a second edition in English in 1945, this current Third Enlarged Edition from 1949 further expands his theories with his work on "cosmic orgone energy" & new understanding of the biological basis of neurosis. In 516 pages, including Index & the author's prefaces to all three editions, this hardcover 8vo has tan cloth-covered boards stamped with dark brown lettering to front & spine. Exceptionally clean & bright, pages white, binding straight & strong, hinges secure. Down, pages white. Downgraded to VG+ due to former owner's underlining in pencil to many sentences in a section on the treatment of a schizophrenic woman & his name stamp to bottom outside page edge; else totally clean. The unclipped DJ is VG, with chipping at both ends of spine, underlining in pen to both flaps, slight spine fading; nicely protected in new mylar cover Free!
