Stephen Wahrhaftig said Compelling Read. This book carefully explains the root causes for the misery caused by evil actions in societies all over the world. While book lists are loaded with apologies for actions taken by criminals, The Emotional Plague goes directly to the emotional reasons for these problems. This is not a book about terrorism per se. Rather it is about how we are all affected by the emotional illness of society in ways big and small. Well researched and well argued, this book is one that I have bought for friends to read..

Robert Jene Amick The thing about it is I've studied Dr. Reich's theories since 1980 and have gone over them enough that I can see that I'm not a detached observer of neurosis and the emotional plague no matter how enlightened I'd like to think of myself as being. But after much study I do like to think I have a sort of feeling about what Dr. Reich work is about. And I am having trouble fitting this book to Dr. Reich's work. I will just make one point and I won't try to convert the unconvinced. Many of the assumptions in the book are, at least to me, mind-blowing - and not. Edward Chastka said Profound!.

Taking his title from a term coined by Wilhelm Reich, Konia argues that in the current "emotional plague" there is a mass "displacement of intra-psychic conflicts of armored people onto the social and political sphere." To put it another way, Konia believes that what Freud saw as normal human defenses are, in the 21st century, growing out of control. By way of a solution, Konia argues for a recognition of a "biological core" than unites humanity in need, and in differences. In chapters including "Freedom, R
In this far-reaching, extensively researched, scholarly work, psychiatrist Charles Konia, M.D. Konia's groundbreaking, highly original book examines from a unique, non-psychological perspective this pathology in human nature that has given us the likes of Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, an Saddam Hussein. This book will open your eyes to why every "great" social program failed in its original mission; why America is increasingly hated throughout the world; why a handful of despotic leaders can enslave millions of people; and why standards of decency and excellence continue to decline.. makes the first comprehensive exploration and development of the concepts first published in Wilhelm Reich's 1933 The Mass Psychology of Fasc
