More about the book
Focusing on the interplay between mind and body, this seminal work presents Wilhelm Reich's innovative character analysis technique, which evolved from traditional psychoanalysis. Reich explores how individuals develop specific character attitudes as defenses against emotional experiences, likening these to an "armor" that manifests in chronic muscular tension. His approach not only addresses psychological resistance but also lays the groundwork for a biophysical understanding of disease and its prevention, merging psychological treatment with physical health.
