The Bioelectrical Investigation of Sexuality and Anxiety

<p><em>The Bioelectrical Investigation of Sexuality and Anxiety</em> is composed of three essential contributions from this period: The Orgasm as an Electrophysiological Discharge Sexuality and Anxiety and The Bioelectrical Function of Sexuality and Anxiety. Reich's detailed report on the physiological experiments undertaken in Norway in 1935-36 in which he sought proof for his orgasm theory. They were compiled by Reich in 1945 and are presented here for the first time with his notes and corrections.</p><p><em>The Bioelectrical Investigation of Sexuality and Anxiety</em> can with good reason be understood as a logical continuation of <em>Character Analysis</em> Reich wrote in the Foreword. It is the character analysis of the areas of biological functioning. Today when emotions are viewed as psychological-that is non-physical-phenomena Reich's clinical and experimental investigation of human sexuality gives revolutionary insight into the basically physical nature of emotional life.</p>
