The case of an attempted suicide is examined in light of broad-based connections between social, environmental, and psychological factors. Theoretical paradigms of Erich FROMM, A. B. Hollingshead, and F. C. Redlich offer insight into the complex interweaving of societal, familial, and personal norms, as well as the possibilities for dissonance within such multifaceted interactions. Value formation is given a central role in the development of psychological disorders, and the individual's capacity to become an integrated member of society is seen to depend on a successful balance of personal and community values. The effects of intellectual and economic variables are also considered.
An introduction to the Italian translation of Max Horkheimer's AUTORITAT UND FAMILIE (Authority and the Family), to be published by UTET. The work originally appeared in 1936 in Paris where the institute for Soc Res of Frankfurt had found refuge in 1933 before being transferred to the United States. Some comments on the Instit's more important researchers, eg, E. FROMM, H. Marcuse, and M. Horkheimer himself are offered. It is stated that Horkheimer saw the family as a mechanism for reproducing the authoritarian character via the apparently >natural< power of the father and the hierarchic structure of the family. Thus the concept that hierarchy was necessary was perpetuated in the children. Horkheimer's book sought to support these theoretical propositions with a series of empiric reseraches utilizing American research methods. However, these methods, it is pointed out, ignoring economic, political and historical dimensions in favor of psychological ones, tended to transform all social problems into problems of interpersonal adaptation. While the theoretical efforts of the Frankfurt school remain valid, the specific empiric studies suffer from an opposition in principle between positivism and critical reflection. But AUTHORITY AND THE FAMILY, by attempting integrated research including the psychological as well as the structural level, points the way toward combining rigorous scientific research with political orientation.

Introduzione
(1983)
Traces FROMM's philosophical thought from its origins in the Frankfurt school to psychoanalysis. FROMM maintained that capitalistic society has caused humans to become alienated from rationality and love and has generated terrorism, economic crises, and a lack of love. Love viewed as art encompasses the overcoming of narcissism and dreams of omnipotence. Love allows humans to fulfill their social and loving nature.

The recognition that the author gives to some of the fundamental themes that mark the works of Fromm, was intended to show the interest that pedagogical reflection bas shown towards them. In the concluding section, she reconsiders how the tension of the human person in search of the meaning of existence takes a particular form for each individual, by facing the radical options of life: pathological state and possibility of realization, passive disposition and creative attitude, alienation and productive orientation. It is not concerned with abstract choices, but alternatives that concern organizational systems and structures of society in which the concerns of Fromm assume specific stresses of the pedagogical projects in reference to the process of self realization of one's being and of the humanization of the system. It is certain that Fromm shifts from bis own conceptual presuppositions of psychoanalysis: however, be considers the plurality of human experiences as well as that of education in itself.
