Tento autor sa zameriaval na prepojenie sexuality a neurotických stavov, pričom „orgastickú potenci“ považoval za hlavné kritérium psychofyzického zdravia. Jeho práca, hoci pôvodne vychádzala z psychoanalýzy, sa rozvinula do syntézy poznatkov z kultúrnej antropológie, ekonómie a sociológie. Počas svojej kariéry bol vnímaný ako kontroverzná osobnosť, najmä kvôli svojej práci s údajnou energiou „orgonu“ a konštrukcii „orgonových akumulátorov“, čo viedlo k nezhodám s etablovanou psychoanalýzou. Napriek tomu jeho dielo ovplyvnilo mnohých spisovateľov a mysliteľov a naďalej podnecuje k úvahám o telesnom a duševnom zdraví.

Vražda Krista obohacuje Reichovy psychosexuální analýzy o rozměr literární a historický. Napříč dějinami tu sledujeme chronickou tragédii lidstva – instinktivní eliminaci osobností, snažících se zacelit “propast mezi snem o životě a schopností tento život žít”. Ježíš Kristus je v tomto textu symbolem svobodně prožívaného života, vřelosti bez patologických a neurotických blokací. Spontánním, celistvým člověkem, který zůstává v kontaktu s vlastními emocemi i širokým kosmem. Právě pro tyto vlastnosti musel být zavražděn. Kristovský princip v sobě nesou všechny novorozené děti, které během vývoje mrzačí výchovné metody společnosti postižené “emočním morem”. Tak je Kristus znovu vražděn v každém dítěti, kterému je systematicky bráněno v tom, aby dosáhlo plné potence života a lásky.
