Excerpt: Ola Raknes (17 January 1887 28 January 1975) was a Norwegian psychologist, philologist and non-fiction writer. Born in Bergen, Norway, he was internationally known as a psychoanalyst in the Reichian tradition. He has been described as someone who spent his entire life working with the conveying of ideas through many languages and between different epistemological systems of reference, science and religion (Dannevig, 1975). For large portions of his life he was actively contributing to the public discourse in Norway. He has also been credited for his contributions to strengthening and enriching the Nynorsk language and its use in the public sphere. Raknes was known as a thorough philologist and a controversial therapist. Internationally he was known as one of Wilhelm Reich's closest students and defenders. Ola Raknes was the son of the farmer Erik Askildson (Askjellson) Raknes (1856 1926) and Magdali Olsdotter (born Raknes) (1859 96) and grew up at the family farm of Raknes in Hamre on the island Osterøy in the Osterfjorden fjord near Bergen in a strict pietist environment. He was married twice: in his first marriage in 1911 with Aslaug Vaa (1889 1965, the marriage was dissolved in 1938) they begot the children Magli (1912 1993), Anne (1914 2001), Tora (1916 1995), Erik (1919-) and Tor (1923-). The second marriage in 1941 with Gjertrud Bonde (born 1913) gave him the daughter Ada. Ola Raknes attended folkeskole (primary school) on the neighbouring farm and then worked for a while on the family's farm prior to enrolling at middelskole (the next higher level in the education system of that time) in Volda. After that he graduated from the Hambros skole in Bergen in 1904. He took his examen artium as private candidate at Kristiania katedralskole in 1907. During the winter of 1907 08 he joined the elephant seal-catching vessel Solglimt to the Crozet islands in the southern Indian Ocean to collect plants and animals for the university in Kristiania.
