This article, based on the author’s keynote speech at the first International Conference on Critical and Radical Humanist Work and Organizational Psychology at the University of Innsbruck, draws on radical humanist theorizing on human productivity and the >pathology of normalcy< in demon-strating the importance of the contribution of Erich Fromm as a basis for Critical Psychology . The sociologist and psychoanalyst Erich Fromm (1900-1980) developed a social psychological method, the special significance of which is that it explicitly captures unconscious motivations and impulses. This makes it possible to identify strivings and behaviors, as well as common values and thought patterns, which, from a humanistic perspective, represent socially patterned mental >defects<. Based on Fromm’s concept of social character, what is perceived as >normal< and >reasonable< in a given society can be exposed as a potential >pathology of normalcy<. After briefly outlining major con-cerns of the project of Critical Psychology, Erich Fromm's social-psychoanalytical approach is in-troduced. The following sections are dedicated to the significance of character formation for ex-plaining social behavior, social repression and socially patterned defects. Next, some indications will be given regarding the meaning of human productivity according to Erich Fromm. Subsequently, the pathogenic impacts of social character orientations will be illustrated based on the exemplary types of the authoritarian and the contemporary marketing social character. The article concludes with a short summary of Erich Fromm’s contribution to Critical Psychology.
During the lockdown, we, as analysts, had to face new situations, which disrupted our habitual mode of working and challenged our ability to adapt. I discovered that having a supportive relationship among colleagues became more important than ever. I will discuss the influence that the transition from in-presence sessions to the online modality during the pandemic has had on the therapeutic process and setting. The adoption of new relational working procedures instead of the usual in-person session has revived the centrality of those themes having to do with the body and sensoriality in psychoanalysis, including the possibility of recognizing and integrating dissociated embodied traumatic experiences, ones that are non-verbalized, and not able to be verbalized. I will outline a clinical case to detail the difficulties encountered in my clinical practice, in which the contingency strategy, based on working remotely, continued to guarantee that sense of security necessary to enable the possibility of dreaming together and freely exploring – introducing, however, within the relationship, aspects of Ferenczi and Rank’s >active technique,< which would not have occurred in person, and which certainly impacted the process in a different way, while always permitting the identification and assimilation of dissociated experiences.
The Institut für Psychoanalyse Zürich-Kreuzlingen (IfP) was founded as a working group in 1972. Its founder Norman Elrod graduated from the Carl-Gustav-Jung-Institute in Zurich and followed a politically and philosophically reflected psychoanalysis. In addition, he was engaged in the treatment of psychotic patients. Quite a few of his co-workers worked in the Psyichiatria Democratica in Italy as well as in institutions in Germany and Switzerland, where they also contributed greatly to psychoanalytically inspired multiprofessional care for severely ill individuals, including forensic patients.
The best way to reconstruct the history of psychoanalytic ideas is to begin from the study not of theories, but of the various authors and their contexts. Important contributions to the study of the ego in Europe had already come from Ferenczi and Fenichel, well before Hartmann founded Ego Psychology (EP), which became mainstream in North America. In Europe, before World War II, significant contributions to what here is called >psychoanalytic ego psychology< (Pep) (contrasted with Hartmann’s EP) came from Anna Freud, Paul Federn, and Gustav Bally. After World War II, contributions came from Alexander Mitscherlich, Paul Parin, and Johannes Cremerius in the German-speaking community, and from Joseph Sandler in the UK. If this is the case, we should then talk of >ego psychologies< in the same way as we talk of the various object relations theories. Pep – as it was described in the guiding principles formulated by Fenichel in the 1930s – keeps informing the clinical work of many psychoanalysts, even if they are not fully aware of it. For example, it represents the basic ingredient of the empirically verifiable >psychoanalytic therapy< formulated in detail by Helmut Thomä and Horst Kächele.
In diesem Artikel wird die Bedeutung Künstlicher Intelligenz (Kl) aus der Perspektive humanistischer Psychologie beleuchtet. Ein besonderer Fokus wird dabei auf das wegweisende Werk von Erich Fromm gelegt. Einleitend wird aufgezeigt, warum das Thema Kl in der Pflege sowohl aus einer pflegewissenschaftlichen als auch psychologischen Perspektive relevant ist. Im Anschluss werden zunächst kritische Perspektiven herausgearbeitet, die sich den Gefahren des verstärkten Einsatzes von Kl für Pflege und Gesellschaft widmen. Dabei wird auf möglich negative Folgen für die Pflege wie z. B. eine Veränderung normativer Standards und eine zunehmende De-Humanisierung hingewiesen. Allerdings kann Kl auch als ein Hoffnungsträger angesehen werden und Unterstützung für die lebenslange Identitätsarbeit von Menschen bieten. Chancen und Risiken für die Identitätsarbeit werden anhand eines Modells hinsichtlich der Dimensionen Authentizität/Kohärenz, Zugehörigkeit/Anerken-nung sowie Kontrolle/Autonomie diskutiert. Abschließend wird ein kurzes Resümee gezogen, in dem die Wichtigkeit betont wird, das sozialwissenschaftlich verankerte Wissen in politische Diskurse und Technikentwicklung einzubringen.
Abidah El Khalieqy dalam karyanya yang berjudul >Geni Jora< menampilkan bentuk rekonstruksi dominasi budaya patriarki yang telah mengubah paradigma terhadap stereotip yang selama ini memenjarakan perempuan dalam penjara dominasi budaya patriarki. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji bentuk budaya patriarki dan bentuk rekonstruksi dominasi budaya patriarki melalui upaya pemenuhan kebutuhan dengan menggunakan kajian psikoanalisis Erich Fromm. Data dalam penelitian dianalisis dengan metode deskriptif. Berdasarkan hasil kajian, ditemukan bahwa bentuk budaya patriarki yang muncul dalam novel >Geni Jora< antara lain: (1) stereotip/pelabelan negatif, (2) kekerasan terhadap perempuan, dan (3) subordinasi. Tindakan Kejora untuk merekonstruksi dominasi budaya patriarki tersebut dilakukan dengan upaya pemenuhan kebutuhan yang terdiri dari dua pemenuhan menurut Erich Fromm, yaitu: (1) kebutuhan kebebasan dan keterikatan (keterhubungan, kesatuan, dan pencipta), dan (2) untuk memahami dan beraktivitas (kerangka orientasi dan keefektifan).
