Alexander Lowen was a teacher, lawyer, medical doctor, psychotherapist, writer, and a pioneer in the field of body-psychotherapy and psychobiology. His life and work are recorded in this candid autobiography.

From his childhood in Harlem, New York, through his therapy and training with Wilhelm Reich, Lowen became an influential innovator in the field of psychiatry and psychotherapy. Developing Bioenergetics with Dr. John Pierrakos, he later founded the International Institute for Bioenergetic Analysis. His understanding of the mind-body split, a widespread but little recognized affliction, points the way to becoming a whole individual.
