Wilhem Reich

Wilhelm Reich was an influential Austrian psychoanalyst and scientist known for his work on human psychology and energy. He believed that emotional and physical health are connected through a life energy called "orgone." Reich developed theories suggesting that emotional repression causes physical and mental illnesses, and he created devices to harness and improve this energy. His ideas challenged conventional science and led to controversy, ultimately resulting in his work being banned by authorities. Despite the controversy, Reich's theories sparked ongoing discussions about mind-body connection and the role of energy in health.
