Wilhelm Reich (1897-1957) was an influential Austrian psychoanalyst and physician, known for his controversial theories on sexuality and vital energy. He was born in a Central European context marked by social and political tensions, which influenced his thinking. Initially, Reich was a disciple of Sigmund Freud, but soon developed his own ideas that challenged psychoanalytic orthodoxy. In the early 1930s, he introduced the concept of "orgone," a supposed universal vital energy that, according to him, influenced physical and mental health.

Reich was also an advocate for sexual freedom and opposed the repression of sexuality, arguing that sexual inhibition caused emotional and psychological disorders. His works on sexuality and psychotherapy were innovative, but generated great controversy.

After the rise of Nazism, Reich emigrated to the United States in 1939, where he continued his research on orgone and developed devices such as the "orgone accumulator." His theories were widely criticized and, in 1956, the U.S. FDA confiscated his equipment. Reich died in 1957 in prison, leaving a controversial and pioneering legacy in psychotherapy and alternative medicine.
