In the fields of philosophy, annoyance is almost the permanent topic. Fromm attempted to define the root of annoyance as the loneliness from the perspective of psychology. There are various ways of getting rid of loneliness, the ideal combined way of which is the mature love. It is thought that how to gain the mature love involves the following aspects: the first is to have mature personality, in other words, to have high self-recognition and creativity; the second is that human should know the spirit cleaning, namely keep attention concentrated and have brain sensible and awaken; the final is to gain the capacity of love by overcoming the self-love, and having rational belief and active activity.
德裔美籍思想家埃里希•弗洛姆(ErichFromm)是现代西方著名的新人道主义伦理学家、新精神分析心理学家、西方马克思主义理论家。他敏锐地洞察到,在现代资本主义社会社会生产虽有巨大发展,物质财富也不再匮乏,但人们生活得并不幸福,人们孤独、不安、机械化,人们同自己、同他人、同自然日渐分离,人被全面异化。弗洛姆的目标就是要构建人本主义伦理学,以促成>健全的社会<,消除其对人的压抑,使人的创造性潜能得以充分发挥,从而实现人的全面发展,达到真正意义上的人与自身的统一。一、人与自身相分离的生存现状:人类>生存的两歧<及全面异化自从人类有了自我意识之后,便意识到了自己面对这个强悍世界时的软弱无力,看到了人
The concept of countertransference has a long history in psychoanalysis. This paper sketches the phenomenon referred to by countertransference and the development of the concept, from being signs of disturbance in the analyst to an important road to knowledge about the patient's inner life. The complexity of the questions discussed today – how to understand the concepts of neutrality, abstinence, and empathy; the relative subjective mutuality and symmetry of the analytic situation; the analyst's enactments and self-disclosure of feelings – reflects the complexity of the contemporary view of the patient–analyst relationship. In conclusion, the author presents a model illustrating the disturbing and informative aspects of countertransference together with the conceptual relationship between countertransference on the one hand and empathy and projective identification on the other. Finally, by differentiating between intuitive and irrational levels of functioning, an integrated model for countertransference is presented, synthesising the essence of the concept as it is used today.
Freedom is the core idea in modern thought, but the when people pursuing it, they get in a state of anti¬nomy: the when people to get freedom, they feel deeply lonely and unsafe, and because of this, they escape from freedom, even give up freedom, and this is the base of fascism. By unifying Marx's historical materialism and Freud's psychoanalysis, Fromm reveals people's contradictory mental state when confronted with freedom, and Fromm maintains that the way of getting rid of the mental state is making full use of man’s creativity and approaching positive freedom.

Using one detailed case presentation, this paper examines the clinical hardship of making accurate and helpful interpretations that do not become part of the patient's defensive system. The author argues that interpretive acting-out is inevitable in the psychoanalytic process. But, if properly monitored, understood, and contained, these interpretive enactments can sometimes actually be a profit to the overall treatment. Issues of projective identification, countertransference, and the importance of realizing our transference role in the patient's changing phantasies are discussed throughout the case material.
生民之初,人类是作为群体而生存,每一个人都不可能离群索 ,因而没有什么个体意义上的自由,而只是像在伊甸园中那样,大家融为一体,和谐相处,如弗洛姆所说>在‘伊甸园’中,男人与女人,人与自然,和谐地相处 在一起<[1](P53)。奴隶制时代的压迫,剥夺了每一个奴隶作为人而生存的权利;中世纪每个人都处在稳定的社会结构中,社会虽然严格地规定了每个人的 身份和地位,但同时也把每个人禁锢和笼罩在统治阶级的政治和思想即神权的藩篱之中。所以在文艺复兴时期,人是向神来争夺自己的位置的。莎士比亚借助他的戏 剧主人公发出的那句对人的赞美的箴言———>人类是一件多么了不得的杰作!多么高贵的理性!多么伟大的力量!多么优美的仪 <
德裔美籍学者埃利希•弗洛姆(1900-1980)是西方马克思主义学派的一个重要成员。他从精神分析的视角批判现实社会,关注人类社会的心理健康,为世人留下了宝贵的思想财富。如人本主义伦理学思想、爱的艺术理论、社会性格理论等。其中社会性格理论在我国学术界颇受人们的关注。[1]该理论立论角度独特,内容深刻,已有许多学者对此理论从不同方面进行过研究。本文尝试从建构路径角度对该理论进行一些探索。一心理学建构路径从理论渊源上说,社会性格是弗洛姆综合马克思主义和弗洛伊德的某些思想而创造出来的一个概念。他自己曾明确说过:>马克思主义总是强调政治方面,胜过定向明显的目的方面。我以为,总的来说这样看是正确的。但在马
The aim of this Bachelor’s thesis is to controvert the scholars who studied human nature; to assess their opinions, and to confirm or displace them. The author also aims at creating a delineation of human nature and deciding if the capitalist order is appropriate for the society, and for individuals with this nature. He describes what qualities the capitalist order creates in people and tries to prove that it this particular system which creates negative qualities in people, e.g. egoism. If the author disapproves capitalism as inappropriate for human society, he will offer an alternative better for the society, which would develop the individual’s positive qualities. The thesis takes form of a text analysis, controversy to various scholars, and the author’s own opinions.
a) To analyze some relevant contributions of marxist inspiration authors to the work and alienation theme. Concretely, we have analyzed contributions from Paul Lafargue, Agnes Heller, Herbert Marcuse, Erich Fromm, André Gorz and Jon Elster. b) To elaborate a proposal for the development of a materialistic and compatible with ethical values theory of alienation. c) To scan the contribution of this proposal to the theoretical and empirical analysis of suffering in social links, and specially in work. This thesis contains three parts. One deals with the analysis of the theoretical contributions made from some marxists traditions to the work alienated question. Another deals with a theoretical development of that theory and its links with human suffering. And the last one deals with an empirical analysis of nineteen interviews made to workers from an automobile industry multinational enterprise. The followings are the fundamental conclusions of the theoretical and empirical analysis: a) The analyzed authors do not usually bring us a materialistic approach to alienation, and when they do it, they circumscribe the theory to the ethical values arena. b) There is an inevitable suffering in social life that should not be confounded with an inevitable alienation. c) Alienation, understood as lose of control among our controllable links, creates surplus coercions and sufferings. d) Conditions for the abolishment of surplus suffering are established where we recover control among our links. e) Work is a fundamental activity for the construction of our subjectivity and for the configuration of our social links. f) The way we produce and produce ourselves in work highly conditions the kind and intensity of our sufferings. Thereby, work is a fundamental arena in the strategy of avoiding avoidables sufferings.
Este trabajo trata de cómo se inicia el psicoanálisis con Freud, a partir de los conceptos centrales de una mente dinámica, y del Inconsciente, y de cómo se fue desarrollando y de las disidencias que existieron posteriormente al hacerse el psicoanálisis más complejo. De cómo Fromm incorpora al psicoanálisis aspectos sociales, dentro de lo que el llama una posición >sociobiológica<. También hace mención de la evolución del pensamiento en el hombre occidental, y de cómo las dos guerras mundiales impactaron en el pensamiento tranto de Freud como de Fromm, y en lo que este último llama >orientaciones del carácter<. Finalmente se plantea como un conflicto actual la disyuntiva entre un mundo enajenado, burocratizado y deshumanizado, y un mundo más racional, y del cuál es el papel del psicoanálisis ante tal situación.
This paper examines the psychology of ethnic, national, religious or political ideological groups composed of thousands or millions of people. In such large groups most of the individuals will never meet during their lifetimes. But, they share a persistent sense of sameness, >large-group identity.< This paper examines how this abstract concept, large-group identity, can become the central force that influences international relationships. Psychoanalysts who are willing to become involved in interdisciplinary initiatives can provide information to the diplomats about large-group psychology in its own right and suggest peaceful strategies for international conflicts.
This text was written for a panel with the ambitious title >With Bion to the future.< Can we tell something about the future? Can we apply this to the future of psychoanalysis? And are some of Bion's concepts of any help to such questions? Bion, following Freud, tells us that the caesura between present and future is not so great. The shadow of the future is present. So how can we read this shadow with Bion as a companion? We may see the future as consisting of many probable evolutions – like an infinite number of virtual lines, growth curves or probability lines only one of which is becoming real. Which lines will develop; which seeds will grow? And is our mind equipped to have an idea of this?
Erich Fromm's work is unique due to his holistic visión of man. His main interest was to overeóme the traditional dualism between individual vs. society and to develop a fundamental concept that integrates the dialectical relationship of both. As a result, this was his characterological concept o/social character on the one side, and the concept o/mental health on the other side. In his clinical work hefocused his interests identifying the foundations which determines man's mental health and the ensuing pathology when man is unable to develop it. His bio-psycho-social visión of man, therefore, led to an integrative concept of mental health which exceeded traditional medical definitions of his time. Fromm's fundamental view is his comprehension of the particular human situation in the world, what he callea human condition.
John Klauber's introduction of the concept of >encounter< signifies a milestone on the way towards an intersubjective understanding of the psychoanalytic method. The concept of encounter is comprehensive and refers to all aspects of the >here-and-now,< including transference from the >then-and-there.< Klauber's contribution points out that the psychoanalytic situation is primarily a therapeutic one. The solution to the transference depends on new experience, and therefore he emphasizes the role of spontaneity. Klauber describes unintended traumatizing aspects, one of the antidotes for which is spontaneity. What is real and actual in the transference should be admitted – at least as >plausible.<

In her final book, >Environmental Culture< as well as elsewhere, Val Plumwood advances the view that sustainability should properly be seen as emergent from an ecofeminist partnership ethic of nourishment and support between humans and nonhuman nature, and that such an ethic must replace the characteristic institutional structures and dominant conceptions of rationality found in capitalist modernity. In making this case, Plumwood impressively charts the impact and significance of the expansionist, exclusionary models of the disembodied but appropriative self found in Cartesian and Lockean thought along with the impact of private property doctrines derived from this source. However, whilst making reference to eco-socialist alternatives at the broader political level, Plumwood offers no systematic account of property that might dovetail with her wider philosophical concerns. In this paper I attempt to generate the start of such an account, drawing on Plumwood’s own canon and bringing it into relationship with (1) relections on ideas of belonging and culture drawn from a range of thinkers including Erazim Kohák, Erich Fromm, and William James, and (2) the contemporary debate over the relationship between green political thought and the liberal democratic tradition.
This interview, performed by e-mail from December 2007 to September 2008, covers the psychoanalytic itinerary of André Haynal. His emigration from Hungary to Switzerland gave him occasion to think about alienation and its significance for identity. Gustav Bally, among others, introduced André Haynal in the Swiss Psychoanalytic Society after a very special interview. Other encounters with prominent and interesting personalities such as Jean Piaget and Michael Balint are also evoked. Furthermore, Haynal?s involvement in the publishing of the Freud–Ferenczi Correspondence and in the renaissance of Ferenczi's influence in contemporary psychoanalysis is also discussed.
Die Existenz der positiven Wirkmechanismen von Heimtieren auf Menschen scheint plausibel, ebenso die Existenz von biophiler Emotionen und Verhaltensweisen, auch wenn die Biophilie-Hypothese weder bewiesen noch widerlegt werden kann. Besonderes Augenmerk sollte den Konsequenzen dieser Phänomene gewidmet werden. Wie können Heimtiere zu therapeutischen Zwecken genutzt werden, ohne dass sie dabei Schaden nehmen? Wie kann man Menschen dazu motivieren, Heim- und Nutztiere artgerecht zu halten? Wie kann man nachhaltige Einstellungen und Verhaltensweisen gegenüber der Umwelt fördern? Diese anwendungsorientierten und zum Teil essentiellen Fragen, bei denen Biophilie ein nützliches Instrument sein kann, sind relevanter als die Frage nach genetischer Determinierung.
El tatuaje/perforación corporal históricamente muestra diversas motivaciones socioculturales, religiosas, tribales y sexuales. Los adolescentes (población mayormente afectada) exhiben desempleo y pobre participación religiosa, relacionable con tendencia a actividades exploratorias y patrones conductuales de impulsividad/ excitabilidad en >busca de sensaciones nuevas e intensas<, Las distintas complicaciones médicas (locales/sistémicas) que acompañan tal psicopatología (compulsiva, trastornos ansioso-depresivos, de personalidad -limítrofe-, paralíticos sexualessadomasoquismo-, o psicosis) descubren la >necesidad< paradójica de provocación/ aceptación: erotismo/dolor que tipifican una salud mental alterada. Estudios internacionales muestran que los portadores de conductas sexuales desviadas y actividades ilegales se asocian con consumo de psicotrópicos (pandillerismo, juego patológico, delincuencia); trastornos alimentarios, conductas de riesgo a la salud y proclividad suicida que requieren tratamiento apropiado y apoyo en programas educativos contra la autoagresión.
In this article culture is viewed in the light of philosophical anthropology. The author analyzed how the term ‘culture’ changed through ages. The author also touched upon the anthropological aspect of culture.
本稿の目的は、エーリッヒ・フロムの「自己実現」論を再構成し、その人間形成論的な可能性を提示することである。フロムはしばしば社会および人間を二つの位相に分けたうえで、片方を持ち上げてもう片方を非難するという論法を採用したが、従来それらは素朴な勧善懲悪的図式として理解される傾向にあった。だがその遺稿から明らかになったフロムによる初期マルクスへの直接的な参照は、そうしたフロムの方法論が決して単純な善悪二元論にはおさまらないことを示唆している。マルクスの言う私有財産の「止揚」プロセスとフロムの想定したこつの様式観が交わりあう過程とをそれぞれのテクストにより突き合わせていくことで、フロムの「自己実現」論は、発達の脱中心化を志向する近年の教育人間学的なモメントを理論レベルにおいて批判的に彫琢しうる、他とのつながりに開かれながらも「自己」へと再帰的に準拠する人間形成論として、新たに定位される。
This paper discusses the conflict between lustful desire leading to an extramarital affair and loyalty to one's partner. Drawing a parallel between the hero of Wagner's opera and the conductor-hero of the film Meeting Venus, the consequences of being an >outsider< are being considered. Whereas Tannhäuser's conflict is resolved in that he finds salvation from the Virgin Mary, Szanto is abandoned by the woman he loved and by his wife. He remains an outsider and alone.

Bion's investigation focused on the clinically observable field of psychoanalysis and a description of its rules of transformations. Analytic observation has as its objective the discovery of connections and objects not previously observed, and therefore it necessitates breaking pre-existing meaning configurations. The discovery of a new meaning requires not only integration, but also a shift toward disintegration. Rupturing the protection of common sense, rationality, and consensus entails >a catastrophic impact with the true experience of the self,< and it is therefore obstructed by the individual and by the group, who consider it dangerous for their own survival. And not wrongfully so. We cannot know in advance, Bion affirms, if that impact will involve a break-up, a breakdown or a breakthrough – a disturbing perspective that is replete with consequences for theory and technique.
Esse artigo objetivou discutir sobre a dificuldade de implementar novas teorias, dentro do processo de modificação das normas brasileiras de contabilidade aplicadas ao setor público (NBCASP). Para tanto, refletiu criticamente sobre o estudo de Francalanza (1997), transpassando a discussão para a realidade contábil brasileira. Simultaneamente, buscou-se em Erich Fromm (1983) o processo e os sintomas da liberdade de pensamento e o papel efetivo da dúvida para contribuir com elementos que possibilitassem uma discussão mais profunda acerca da evolução da contabilidade pública, inserindo o debate da educação contábil, como fonte precípua para uma modificação científica. Utilizou-se do método de raciocínio dedutivo, associando a técnica de documentação indireta e de questionário estruturado. Nesta perspectiva foram discutidos alguns elementos vivenciados pelo Grupo Assessor constituído pelo CFC, para a elaboração das NBCASP, depois de 62 anos sem pronunciamento específico sobre este assunto para a classe contábil brasileira. Concluiu-se que as principais dificuldades na implementação de novas teorias no setor público brasileiro estão associadas com mudanças de atitudes, tendo em vista a forte ligação dos profissionais contábeis com aspectos jurídicos, que nem sempre espelham os constructos basilares da Ciência Contábil.
Primarily, the bachelor thesis deals with the position of man in modern capitalistic society from Erich Fromm’s point of view. The analysis is gradually based on parts concerning human nature, the human character, social character, man’s relation to power, symbiotic relationships, authoritarianism, roots and development of capitalism, capitalism of the 19th century, capitalism of the 20th century and its impacts on human beings’ lives. Furthermore, I focused on the explanation of Fromm’s concept of the having mode and being mode. The final part is devoted to the productive orientation and the art of being. The work should help with better understanding the problematic position of man in our modern society. The next aim is to familiarize reader with unconscious processes taking part in the unconsciousness of the majority of people living in capitalism. The bachelor thesis has also ambition to restore and support humanistic branch of thinking within human studies.
Violence inflicted on men and women has repercussions on succeeding generations. Indeed, suffering that is not narrated and shared can become masochism and destruction. Based on a clinical case, I will propose an illustration of this fact and discuss it. I will also propose a discussion of countertransference linked to this case history. Finally, I will approach some topics on metapsychology and the way I use this concept to understand my experience.
El culto a la Santa Muerte es una creencia secular que se incrementa con gran rapidez en el México del 2009 actual y la presente tesina trata primeramente del origen de su culto, su relación con la iglesia católica- ortodoxa y sus características. Posteriormente, se analiza este tema desde un enfoque psicoanalítico. En base a la teoría de C.G. Jung, se aclara que el culto es la >sombra(término de Jung)< del neoliberalismo aparecida en el subconsciente colectivo mexicano.También se expone que los aztecas tenían una tendencia hacia la >necrofilia< en su religión primitiva según Erich Fromm. Y como conclusión, planteo cuatro premisas. Primero, el culto actual de Santa Muerte proviene de la tradición europea de la Danza Macabre, no obstante, la iglesia católica no reconoce su legitimidad. Segundo, el culto tiene cuatro principales características: 1. el sintetismo entre lo europeo y lo indígena, 2. el culto que se enfoca más en la vida mundana, 3. el culto como religión del mercado en el sentido de que se comercializa el culto, 4. el pánico por la muerte. Tercero, el culto se propaga por la crisis económica causada por el neoliberalismo. Los marginados que no fueron beneficiarios de la globalización han acogido este culto como >sombra< del neoliberalismo subconscientemente. A pesar de la tradición europea, la tendencia hacia la >necrofilia< ocultada en el subconsciente colectivo de los mexicanos resucita o intensifica esta >sombra<. Cuarto, el culto tiene ambivalencia como tabú. En otra palabras, tiene dos lados positivo y negativo. El positivo radica en que el culto absorbe y consuela a los marginados afectados por la globalización y el negativo es que el culto es una alerta roja a la sociedad mexicana.
