Thanks once again for the precious information on Wilhelm Reich (through Katja Walch-Lux) which somewhat undercuts the suggestion that Reich was expelled from the International Psychoanalytical Association for political reasons--a common assumption dating back to Freud's reactionary biographer Ernest Jones. More likely (following Rabinbach and others), Reich was kicked out because he was nuts. Or, as some have contended, he was nuts because he was politicized enough to see what was going on.
