Character Analysis is a book by psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich that explores the structure of character as a chronic alteration of the self, a rigid structure that seeks to protect the individual from external and internal dangers. Reich argues that this characterological armor develops as a result of fear of punishment and the repressions of early education. This book is a classic in the field of psychoanalysis and presents a revolutionary and bold view of the patient's resistance to analysis.
Wilhelm Reich was an Austrian doctor of medicine and a psychoanalyst, a member of the second generation of analysts after Sigmund Freud. The author of several influential books, The Impulsive Character (1925), The Function of the Orgasm (1927), Character Analysis (1933), and The Mass Psychology of Fascism (1933), he became one of the most radical figures in the history of psychiatry.
