REICH, Wilhelm, MASS PSYCHOLOGY OF FASCISM: New York: Orgone Institute Press, 1946.
First edition in English, revised and enlarged from the German (2nd) edition. Reich's important interpretation of authoritarian character.
Ideology as Material Power; Authoritarian Family Ideology and the Mass Psychology of Fascism; The Race Theory; Symbolism of the Swastika; Sex-Economic Basis of the Authoritarian Family; Organized Mysticism: The International Antisexual Organization; Sex-Economy in the Fight Against Mysticism; Some Problems of Sex-Political Practice; the Masses and the State; Work Democracy. Reich speaks of "three different layers of biophyschic sructure;" the outer layer being restrained, polite, compassionate and conscientious, the inner layer--under favorable conditions--honest, industrious, cooperative , loving, and also "rationally" hating. The problem comes in the middle layer, which he equates with the Freudian unconscious--cruel, sadistic, lascivious, predatory and envious. He sees liberalism as representing the outer layer, all genuine revolutionary art and science as stemming from the deep layer, and fascism as representing the middle layer.

First Edition. Bound in blue cloth with gilt lettering. Includes an errata sheet. Study of cancer from bioenergy standpoint. One of Reich's most scarce works.

Her ambivalence about sex is revealed in her frank questions, "Does the man move his penis in the vagina? He goes on to show how her sexual fears may account for the lack of healthy sexual organs. 409 pp.
