His writings have been translated into several languages, and his thoughts have been popularized in various types of media. This review provides a brief biographical notation for those readers not thoroughly familiar with him. This book is edited by Rainer Funk, a psychoanalyst in private practice in the city of T{\"u}bingen, Germany. He is Fromm's sole literary executor and owner of his library, has edited posthumously several books based on Fromm's writings, and has written and edited books about Fromm's life and work. The present volume includes two previously unpublished articles by Fromm on therapeutic practice, and the rest is a collection of writings solicited from Fromm's former students, supervisees, colleagues, and friends, who provide anecdotal and personal information as well as comments on Frommian therapeutic style and technique. Although Funk's book provides only glimpses of Fromm's main criticisms of classical psychoanalysis and his social ideas, it will be of interest to clinicians and laypeople alike who are willing to become acquainted with one of the most important thinkers of the second half of the 20th century.}, language = {en} }
