Wilhelm Reich. Paragon House Publishers, $10.95 (177pp) ISBN 978-1-55778-275-5
This stitched-together self-portrait is in three parts: a 1919 essay describing the effects of Reich's mother's infidelity; adolescent diaries from his years as a medical student and young analyst in Vienna; an excerpt from History of Sexpol (1937). ``Reich's brutal candor, his precocious sexuality and penchant for self-analysis make this pastiche memorable,'' judged PW .
