Reich, Jung, Regardie & Me: Unhealed Healer. [Paperback]

J. Marvin Spiegelman Ph.D. (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 1992

The Unhealed Healer is primarily a record of my experiences during the first four years of an eight-year Reichian therapy with the famed Dr. Francis Israel Regardie. It details the nuts and bolts of procedure and content of many of the sessions, along with reflections and fantasy work which I did during those painful years of my mid-forties, almost twenty years ago. Why, in heaven's name, am I foolhardy enough to do this? What dark motive of exhibitionism, masochism or other ism lurks here to risk the judgment, opprobrium, scorn and contempt of my fellow healers or, just as bad, their pity? I must be out of my mind! Precisely. I undertook Reichian therapy to get out of my mind and into my body.

This review is from: Reich, Jung, Regardie & Me: Unhealed Healer. (Paperback)

The author is extremely courageous and honest. I bought the book to find out about Regardie. Most of the the book is about the self-guided Jungian fantasy work the author did during the time that he also received Reichian work from Regardie, so it is not all that informative about the Reichian work. As a 'Reichian' myself, the thought occurred to me that the Jungian work ( explore the dream) was actually at odds with the Reichian (contact, in the body, here-and-now ) work, but perhaps they were synergistic.
