Nowhere to hide! Wilhelm Reich was the 20th Century's maddest scientist, the godfather of the Sexual Revolution and the discoverer of "orgone energy." As a child of five, author Malcolm J. Brenner is sent to Dr. Albert Duvall, a sadistic "orgone therapist" and one of Reich's closest associates. Neither Reich nor Malcolm's parents suspect what ends up happening behind the locked door of Duvall's soundproof office. Frightening, funny, touching and raunchy, "Growing Up In The Orgone Box" is the true story of a small boy trying to cope with a slowly crumbling family and a world ? he's told ? that would never understand.
