Wilhelm Reich (24 March 1897 – 3 November 1957) was an Austrian psychoanalyst, a member of the second generation of analysts after Sigmund Freud.
 The author of several influential books, most notably "Character Analysis" (1933), "The Mass Psychology of Fascism" (1933) and "The Sexual Revolution" (1936), Reich became known as one of the most radical figures in the history of psychiatry.
A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia (French: "Mille plateaux" ) is a 1980 philosophy book by French authors Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, respectively a philosopher and a psychoanalyst.
 The authors draw upon and discuss the work of a number of authors, including Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, and Wilhelm Reich.
 "A Thousand Plateaus" is written in a non-linear fashion, and the reader is invited to move among plateaux in any order.
 It is the second volume of "Capitalism and Schizophrenia", and the successor to "Anti-Oedipus" (1972).
 Before the full English translation by social theorist Brian Massumi appeared in 1987, the twelfth "plateau" was published separately as "Nomadology: The War Machine" (New York: Semiotext(e), 1986).
 Though influential, and considered a major statement of post-structuralism and postmodernism, the book has been criticized on many grounds.
Magical Beginnings is an anthology of fantasy short stories edited by Steven H. Silver and Martin H. Greenberg, first published in paperback by DAW Books in February 2003.
 It is a compilation of the first published stories of sixteen prominent authors in the genre, and features introductions to the stories provided (in most instances) by the authors of those stories.
 "Magical Beginnings " was the second of three similarly-themed anthologies, its companions being "Wondrous Beginnings" and "Horrible Beginnings", compiling the first published stories of authors writing in the science fiction and horror genres, respectively.
 The series follows the example of the earlier "", edited by Damon Knight (Lancer Books, 1963) and "First Voyages", edited by Damon Knight, Martin H. Greenberg and Joseph D. Olander (Avon Books, 1981), which focused on science fiction authors only and did not include individual introductions.
Four-beat Rhythm: The Writings of Wilhelm Reich (2013) is a compilation album on which the writings of Wilhelm Reich are adapted to music.
 The album is an awareness-raising endeavor for Wilhelm Reich and his works and a fund-raising endeavor for the Wilhelm Reich Infant Trust.
 This non-profit entity was established by Wilhelm Reich and charged with 1) operating Orgonon as the Wilhelm Reich Museum, 2) protecting, preserving and transmitting Wilhelm Reich’s scientific legacy to future generations, 3) safeguarding Wilhelm Reich’s Archives and 4) helping infants, children and adolescents.
Orgonon was the 175 acre home, laboratory and research center of the Austrian-born psychiatrist Wilhelm Reich (1897–1957).
 Located in Rangeley, Maine, it is Reich's burial place, and is now open to the public as the Wilhelm Reich Museum.
 Its main building, designed by James B. Bell and built for Reich in 1948, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (as the Orgone Research Laboratory), and is a significant example of International Style architecture in the state.
 The name is a play on orgone energy, Reich's principal area of study in his later years.
Mildred Edie Brady (June 3, 1906 – July 27, 1965) was a freelance writer for "The New Republic" who is mostly known for writing the May 26, 1947 article "The Strange Case of Wilhelm Reich" (with the subhead, "The man who blames both neuroses and cancer on unsatisfactory sexual activities has been repudiated by only one scientific journal") about psychiatrist Wilhelm Reich's controversial "cosmic energy" research.
Andrei Georgiyevich Bitov (Russian: Андре́й Гео́ргиевич Би́тов , born Leningrad, 27 May 1937) is a prominent Russian writer.
Wilhelm Reich in Hell is a play and book written by author Robert Anton Wilson, and published in 1987.
 The book is one of Wilson's 35 volumes, and the play has been staged several times, with productions in Santa Cruz, Dublin, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.
 The many factual and fictional characters in the play include Marilyn Monroe, Uncle Sam, and Wilhelm Reich himself.
The Strange Case of Wilhelm Reich is a 2013 Austrian film about Wilhelm Reich played by Klaus Maria Brandauer.
Orgone is a pseudo-scientific and spiritual concept described as an esoteric energy or hypothetical universal life force, originally proposed in the 1930s by Wilhelm Reich.
 As developed by Reich's student Charles Kelley after Reich's death in 1957, orgone was conceived as the anti-entropic principle of the universe, a creative substratum in all of nature comparable to Mesmer's animal magnetism (1779), to the Odic force (1845) of Carl Reichenbach and to Henri Bergson's "élan vital" (1907).
 Orgone was seen as a massless, omnipresent substance, similar to luminiferous aether, but more closely associated with living energy than with inert matter.
 It could allegedly coalesce to create organization on all scales, from the smallest microscopic units—called "bions" in orgone theory—to macroscopic structures like organisms, clouds, or even galaxies.
