FROMM's (see PA, Vol 79:13841) article on the factors influencing psychoanalytic cure and focuses on FROMM's argument that cure does not so much involve the ego's struggle against the instincts as the conflicts that arise between life-denying and life-affirming passions.

The essential elements of analysis include insight, directness, seriousness, and a pungent, realistic grasp of life and death issues.
