My fleeting interest in Wilhelm Reich actually didn't come from Cloudbusting but from the passing reference in Dylan's song Hurricane about Hurricane Carter reading Nietzsche and Wilhelm Reich in prison. That led me down a rabbit hole a bit and I read something by Reich, maybe The Mass Psychology of Fascism, not sure, it was 40 years ago, but that seems likely what my local library had and before online shopping what the local library had was a prime driver of what got read. I also read a good biography of Reuben 'Hurricane' Carter that didn't actually indicate anything about him reading anything in particular in prison so probably that was just Dylan filling in the blanks and making a good lyric.
I probably got more out of the Carter bio than out of Reich. Psychology is fascinating but maybe a bit beyond me. I'm not quite down at the level of just Mr. Men books of course. Anyone with a brain should be interested in how a brain works after all, just like anyone with a car should be interested in how a carburetor works, but not everyone should take their carburetor or their brain apart!
Hope you did hear from other therapists though. There's a lot of subtext in Kate Bush's works that can be explored, some of it probably not even consciously done on her part.
