Summary: Man in the Trap
Review: A must read for every mental health expert. This book is a concise, clear and objective presentation of the work of W. Reich. Dr. Baker has given an invaluable contribution in presenting, organizing and clarifying a field of knowledge that is neglected by classical medicine. He also has given an unprecedented gift to mankind in its struggle for happiness. In my opinion this is one of the few works that can help psychiatry to extricate itself from the biochemical quagmire in which is drawning.

Summary: Wilhelm Reich made Simple
Review: Elsworth Baker takes the most important aspects of Wilhelm Reich's research and explains them in simple laymen's terms. Reich's profound research into human behavior, from infancy through adulthood, is told in a way by Dr. Baker, so that an ordinary person can understand the finding of Dr. Reich's research on topics like the function of the orgasm, the biophysical makeup of political man, and the healing of humanity of illnessess ( from cancer to war ) using the principals of bioenergetics.

Summary: Understanding Human Emotional Life
Review: Elsworth Baker's Man in the Trap is a great book for those who want to learn more about what makes people tick.

What I like best about this book is Baker's special gift for describing scientific topics, with all the detail and accuracy that any expert could desire, but still in a way that any intelligent layperson can enjoy and understand completely and easily.

Baker shows how our emotional functioning is based on the same natural laws that govern all living things (some books on this subject explain humans by starting with the behavior of the higher apes, Baker starts with the ameba). He then goes through the stages of human psychosexual development, describes the different healthy and neurotic character types, and has a very moving chapter on how parents and society can support the emotional health of infants and children.

Summary: Man In the Trap
Review: This book is an exploration of the unique mind-body therapy pioneered by Wilhelm Reich, M.D. The therapy, termed "medical orgone therapy," is practiced today by psychiatrists who have gone on to train in this unique approach to emotional health. Although the book is written with the serious student in mind (medical doctor, psychologist) it is also appropriate for a general audience. Anyone who is interested in improving their emotional health, naturally, should learn about this therapy. Man In the Trap is a good introduction to the treatment.
