This review is from: The Bioelectrical Investigation of Sexuality and Anxiety (Paperback)
This book is the first one in the history of modern science that presents a naturalistic and scientific exploration of sexuality and anxiety. The thinking is original and is able to avoid falling into a mechanistic or idealistic approach. The experiments are original and as far as I know nobody has repeated them yet. At least nobody has repeated them using the same methodological and theoretical approach. It should be a book read by anybody who is interested in the fields of psychology, medicine and sexuality.
Of note is the fact that all the subsequent studies about sexuality performed by researchers are lacking in freshness , originality, and liveleness. They all sound dry, abstract and mechanical when compared to Reich's work.
