<blockquote>"His second wife, Ilse Ollendorf, said it replaced the psychoanalytic approach of never touching a patient with 'a physical attack by the therapist.'"</blockquote>

This sentence in the section on Vegetotherapy appears to me as a trivial and ill-justified attempt to "spice up" the prose. As Reich's second wife writes in the preface to her own 1969 Reich biography on page xix: "I am neither a scientist nor a psychiatrist, and I will have to leave it up to future scientists to write an evaluation of Reich's scientific work", and she then goes on to make a similar disclaimer with respect to his therapeutic work. She clearly does not consider herself qualified to make authoritative assessments about Reich's scientific and professional practice. Anyway, I take it I'm not the only active contributor on this subject who reacts against the clearly tabloid quality of this quote, so I'm not going to argue more for its removal at this time. But removed it should be. __[[User:Meco|meco]] ([[User talk:Meco|talk]]) 10:49, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
