Hi Andrew,
Some of your questions came from cyberspace to attention:

Rank is really an interesting one. Similar to Reich, he made an impressive
career from a Freudian brother in arms to a heretic pioneer of new ideas.
Rank was the forerunner of the prenatal psychology. From Otto Rank leads a
red thread students to the founder of the modern prenatal psychology Gustav
Hans Graber.
I think, there are several parallels between Reich and Rank, which go much
further than the personal tragedies in their transference problems with
freud. One more important similarity is, that both began to look more and
more at the repressions of the nature of childhren before the oedipal
phasis. Surely, Rank and his followers came from a explicit psychoanalytic
point of view, like prenatal psychology in common. They needed the material
of dreams to come into insight of this. Reich had a much more intuitive and
feeling orientated door to the organismic truth of the fetal existence, birth
etc. Look at this very impressive passage in the interview of Eissler, when
Reich talks of the trauma of birth, the deep "No" in the humans ...
Have a good time ...
