A great alternative to contemporary hysteria
28 Feb 2001
Format:Paperback
Reich believed that nothing require our dedication more than an understanding of the impact of the environment on the infant child. In Children of the Future, he shows how disastrous the exclusion of genitality is to the young and how important its influence is on their development. Included here is "The Sexual Rights of Youth" published in a revised form.

So far, so good...
10 Feb 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the first book I've read from Reich -- and I get the impression that his work will be much better to read in German, as compared to English translations. Considering the subject matter which Reich discusses, that's my theory -- but I am prone to a bit of impatience at times, so since I'm not yet fluent in German I've been reading the English translations.
What I've read is quite interesting -- but I would caution that those who read Reich's work had better be capable of thinking for themselves, and that they make sure to think over what he is saying very thoroughly before prematurely taking action, etc. -- also, I stress that my experience with German-to-English translations is that they usually change a lot from the original (meaning: the translations are prone to error and imperfection), especially when one considers the time when Reich was writing -- for this reason, I think anyone seriously interested in studying his work must learn German (and there are many other good reasons to learn German, anyway) to ultimately learn what Reich, himself, theorized and said.

Reich's Exposes how natural sensitive parenting work from birthing on
17 Oct 2011
Format:Paperback
I read this 20 years ago & its still true about how we impact children from birthing into lifelong learning, emotions, health & relationships. His Infant health care center for child caring parents helped them with babies & children having emotional, bonding & health problems in 1950s faded away. Then in 1970s the young nature loving hippies began having natural homebirthing & doing ways that Reich was showing & teaching parents in decades before. How to respect their babies needs, emotions & instincts as natural & essential care they missed from growing up under medical care, hi tech & work compulsory economy.
Reich was a private MD pioneer in '50s U.S when Dr Spock was advocating a more child-friendly, helpful & compassionate, semi natural way of parenting. Reich did natural healing bodywork/massage on frustrated, angry, scared & hyper needy babies who had birth trauma, neglect & instincts for bonding were neglected by parents unaware of the needs. Also doing his Orgone therapy on parents who needed healing. But he was attacked, arrested & convicted of doing 'cancer curing' treatments with 'Orgone energy' the medical establishments denied exists in nature & health.
So Reich began wholistic healthy parenting & body work for releasing 'body armor' of anger, fears & pains in babies & adults in '40s & '50s. [Infant Massage--Revised Edition: A Handbook for Loving Parents]. [Children's liberation, (A Spectrum book [Ina May's Guide to Childbirth].
Now 1000 of energy therapists are doing that on adults & less on children who need healing from birth trauma, neglect, abuse & parents non bonding with love from birth on. That was the beginning of reversing the unnatural parenting in cities by stressed-out hi-tech parents & medical hospital deliveries & mechanical health care with drugs while blaming their pains, ills & diseases on germs, DNA genes, weather & work. We need more sensitive birthing & bonding, parenting & learning to prevent the normal stresses in US & most cities where competition prevents natural loving, cooperating & family peace at home.
