Where's the Truth?" is the fourth & final volume of Wilhelm Reich's autobiographical writings drawn from his diaries letters & laboratory notebooks. These writings reveal the details of the outrider scientist's life
- his joys & sorrows his hopes & insecurities
- & chronicle his experiments with what he called "orgone energy." A student of Freud's & a prominent research physician in the early psychoanalytic movement Reich immigrated to America in 1939 in flight from Nazism & pursued research about orgone energy functions in the living organism & the atmosphere. Where's the Truth? begins in January 1948 shortly after Reich became a target of the Federal Food & Drug Administration. He had already faced persecution by the U.S. government having been mistaken by the State Department & the FBI for both a Communist & a Nazi. Starting in 1947 Reich was hounded by the FDA which in 1954 obtained an injunction by default against him that enabled it to burn six tons of his published books & research journals & to ban the use of one of his most important experimental research tools
- the orgone energy accumulator. Challenging the right of a court to judge basic scientific research Reich was imprisoned in March 1957 & died in the U.S. Penitentiary in Lewisburg Pennsylvania eight months later. The text gathered here shows Reich's steadfast determination to protect his work. " Where's the truth?" he asked a lawyer & that question animates this volume & rounds out our understanding of a unique irrepressible modern figure."
