Wilhelm Reich
Wilhelm Reich (March 24, 1897–November 3, 1957) was an influential Austrian-American psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, whose writings on youth and their sexual rights are still published today. Central to his analysis was the importance of genitality to youth in averting sexual pathology later in life. He went on to be a victim of American state book-burning for works unrelated to youth rights.
