The Function of the Orgasm: Sex-Economic Problems of Biological Energy: The Discovery of the Orgone, Volume I
New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1973.
Hardcover.
Newly translated from the German by Vincent R. Carfagno.
This book summarizes Wilhelm Reich’s medical and scientific work with the human organism over a period of twenty years. His discovery and identification of the orgone was the result of his clinical investigation of the concept of “psychic energy.” Reich professed that “it has been clearly shown that knowledge of the emotional functions of biological energy is indispensable for the understanding of physical and physiological functions. The biological emotions which govern the psychic process are themselves the direct expression of a strictly physical energy, the cosmic orgone.”
