Simple chronology, unfortunately, suggests that Reich didn't have much to do with either of these. Look: I'll freely admit that Reich was apparently a gifted clinician. And there's a kind of relationship between "character armor" and what we now call ego psychoanalysis. But that's about it.

Look: I’ll freely admit that Reich was apparently a gifted clinician. And there’s a kind of relationship between “character armor” and what we now call ego psychoanalysis. But that’s about it.

And “Freudo-Marxist” is a
standard way of referring to Reich–including, according to some sources, by Reich himself!

Not to mention the cesation of sitting behind the patient, out of sight, during therapy. Only an idiot would refer to Reichand his work as "Freudo-Marxist theorist". Congratulations, you are a retard. Apparently you are unaware of Reich’s contributions, his break with Freud yielded many things, including the discovery of Transferance.
