This groundbreaking work by [[Wilhelm Reich]] explores the intricate connection between character structure and neurosis, presenting character as a defence mechanism formed through life experiences. Reich delves into how emotional blocks and rigid character patterns can inhibit natural vitality and emotional expression. The book outlines Reich's innovative therapeutic techniques, including character armor analysis, and offers a profound understanding of human psychology. A seminal text in psychoanalysis, it bridges the gap between traditional Freudian thought and body-oriented approaches.
