Erich Fromm (1900-1980), a man of the twentieth century, lived professionally as a psychologist-psychoanalyst-social activist from the World War I and Weimar Re-public years in Frankfurt, Heidelberg and Berlin, Germany; through the World War II and early cold war-Communist witch-hunt years in New York City; through the sixties in Mexico City as Director of the Department of Psychoanalysis at the University of Mexico School of Medicine; and the last decade of his life in Switzerland where he taught visiting psychoanalysts and thoughtfully spoke to the freedom of the then West German peoples. He practiced, taught and wrote about psychoanalysis most of these years, developing several social character types in-terfacing with the culture of the country and the times, all the while trying to differen-tiate health from pathology in the individual patient and in the society in which he lived. His Secon major area of thought lay in the conceptual arenas of psycho-analysis-psychology-sociology-political and economic thought and of religious be-liefs. He never gave up hope for the individual and for society to progress in the di-rection of freedom, peace and humanistic thought. Most unusual for a practicing psychoanalyst, he actively carried his ideas into the political and social arenas and in the rigor of two large scale academic research projects. He was a Renaissance man.

A Contribution to the Method and Purpose of an Analytical Social Psychology [originated 1937]
(1992)
Clearly recognized by researchers in the field as one of the major long-term sequelae of childhood trauma, discussion of the process of dissociation remains embedded in the classical psychoanalytic literature and is not often referred to in contemporary psychoanalytic writing. This article attempts to update the definition of dissociation in accordance with contemporary research on traumatic stress and posttraumatic stress disorders and to demonstrate the manifestations and impact of dissociative phenomena in the psychoanalytic treatment of adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Several points are emphasized: (1) treatment of the adult survivor of childhood sexual abuse involves recognition of the simultaneous coexistence and alternation of multiple (at least two) levels of ego organization (2) at least one level represents, in split-off form, the entire system of self- and object representation, including unavailable, affectively loaded memories and fantasied elaborations and distortions originating in the traumatogenic abusive situation and (3) there is present a kaleidoscopic transference-countertransference picture that shifts illusively but can often be understood as based on the projective-introjective volleying of a fantasized victim, abuser, and idealized, omnipotent savior.
