Freud, Fromm, and the Pathology of Normalcy

  • Briefly discusses current dissatisfaction with Freud's theoretical framework and considers the difficulties in seeking and establishing a new paradigm. Such a new paradigm should allow for the integration of the field of psychotherapy and be coherent with other psychological theories. Based on the work of H. S. Sullivan, A. Adler, K. Horney, and E. FROMM, a new paradigm is proposed that eliminates the false dichotomy of >interpersonal-intrapsychic< through an analysis of the concepts of physical and phenomenal (i.e., experiential and psychological) space. It is suggested that psychoanalysis reveals that human behavior is goal-directed and social and that social and biological approaches to the study of human behavior are not mutually exclusive. A new conceptual framework of psychoanalysis is offered that is based upon the small social group in a unification of the studies of psycho- and sociodynamics. The group schema serves as a cognitive map, a practice ground for social training and problem solving, and a source of substitute rewards. Examples are presented to illustrate how psychoanalytic ideas may be conceptualized in the group model.
