There Is a Policeman Inside All Our Heads. He Must Be Destroyed

E3    Mar 31, 2002    58m    TV-MA
In the 1960s, a radical group of psychotherapists challenged the influence of Freudian ideas in America. They were inspired by the ideas of Wilhelm Reich, a pupil of Freud's, who had turned against him and was hated by the Freud family. He believed that the inner self did not need to be repressed and controlled. It should be encouraged to express itself.
