The interpersonal tradition and its development: Some implications for training
- Contends that E. FROMM's (1947) work adds an important dimension to the analysis of human behavior in groups because he explains the complex interplay of unconscious dynamics with historical, cultural, and social forces. A destructive ideology can be looked at as a closed system that is based primarily on an unconscious need for symbiosis and regressive fantasy notions. The psychological basis for these ideologies can be found in the social character as has been described by FROMM. In FROMMian terms, ideology elaborates an unconscious escape mechanism of sado-masochism, destructiveness and automation-like conformity.
