Discusses how the ideas of A. A. Ukhtomskii (1950, 1973, 1983) on the nature of the human personality are linked to the principal achievements of Ukhtomskii the neurophysiologist and his theory of a dominant. A dominant is a >functional organ<, a reflex system that is temporarily dominant and is responsible for the integral nature of the functioning of nervous centers and reactions to the environment. The dominant is an active reflex observable in the generalization and specialization of conditional reflexes. The dominant is linked to human purposeful behavior as a driving force in the satisfaction of human needs. This source of human activity is extended within the realm of humanistic psychology to describe love in terms of the need for knowledge (of another) and the acknowledgement of the need for others in one's life. Ukhtomskii is seen as anticipating the writings of Erich FROMM.
>Erich Fromm in Mexico: 1950-1973<: Drawing on his intimate knowledge of Erich Fromm’s personality and on the experience of many years as one of Fromm’s colleagues, the author – who belongs to the first generation of psychoanalysts trained in Mexico – describes Fromm’s activities during the years 1950 to 1973. Although he had originally come to Mexico to seek remedial treatment for his seriously ill wife, Henny, at medicinal baths, Fromm became more and more drawn to the task of training up-and-coming psychoanalysts at the National Autonomous University of Mexico and acquainting them with his vision of >humanist< psychoanalysis. The strict >teacher< Fromm – who was at first sometimes experienced as arrogant – underwent a transformation over the years into the humane and humorous >master<, for all his constant readiness to pounce on errors whenever his watchful eye detected them. Indeed, with his astonishing creative gifts Fromm remained an elusive and hardly approachable ideal. Lastly, Fromm’s writings in the abovementioned period are commented against the background of his involvement as teaching professor, instructing analyst, and organizer of congresses and guest lectures by distinguished contemporaries – e. g. by D. T. Suzuki (1960) on the subject of Zen Buddhism.

>Mathematics, Intuition and the Being Mode of Existence<: At the beginning of the 20th century several paradoxes in set theory plunged mathematics into a crisis of its foundations. There were three solutions to the foundational crisis: logicism, formalism and intuitionism. Since logicism can be considered as incorporated into formalism, formalism and intuitionism represent the two major solutions. Although both were proposed by famous mathematicians, the former, put forward by David Hilbert totally dominates both mathematical practice and the philosophy of mathematics whereas the latter, put forward by Luitzen Egbertus Jan Brouwer is pursued only by a small number of logicians, most of which reject Brouwer’s underlying philosophy. In this paper we show that Brouwer’s philosophy and foundation of mathematics are not the outcome of a sick, solipsistic mind, as commonly portrayed, but that his way of thinking is perceived as such through the spectacles of alienation (the >having mode of existence< (Fromm) or >greed, hatred, delusion< (Buddha). We show that Brouwer’s way of thinking is embedded in the >being mde of existence< (Fromm). The formalist foundation of mathematics is seen historically as the mathematical counterpart of what analytical philosophy is to philosophy or what behaviorism is to psychology, the way of thinking which embraces it being rooted in the >having mode of existence<, whose prevalence in society accounts for the historical success of the formalist point of view.

>Die Dritte Welt und der Gesellschafts-Charakter<: Die von Erich Fromm aufgestellte Theorie des Gesellschafts-Charakters gibt uns die Möglichkeit, uns die emotionalen Prozesse zu erklären, die sich in den Individuen im Verlauf des sozialen Anpassungsprozesses entwickeln und verändern. Nach Fromms Schema, das von den sozialen Strukturen ausgeht, ist der Gesellschafts-Charakter zwischen der ökonomischen Basis und den Ideen angesiedelt. Wenn man in Rechnung stellt, dass die sozio-ökonomischen Faktoren den Charakter beeinflussen und determinieren, kann man nicht von einem gleichartigen Charakter in der Ersten und der Dritten Welt sprechen – Differenzen, die in empirischen Studien aufgewiesen wurden, haben das gezeigt. Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird die Dynamik des Geschlechterkampfes geschildert, der nicht nur für die Dritte Welt zu gelten scheint. Die Studien zum Gesellschafts- Charakter haben unterschiedliche Charaktertypen beschrieben; in diesem Text werden Charaktertypen dargestellt, die bei führenden Persönlichkeiten in einer mexikanischen Provinzgemeinde angetroffen wurden. Ebenso werden einige theoretische Aspekte untersucht, wie z.B. der Einfluss der sozio-ökonomischen Bedingungen, das kapitalistische Modell und der Zusammenbruch der totalitären Regime in den Ländern des Ostens. Schließlich erfolgt eine kurze Zusammenfassung des praktischen sozialpsychoanalytischen Prozesses, im Anschluss an eine methodologische Studie, die der Anwendung des interpretativen Fragebogens in der erwähnten Provinzgemeinde voraufging.
>The Development of the Mexican Psychoanalytic Society and the Mexican Institute for Psychoanalysis<: In this essay a description is given of the organizational development of the Mexican Psychoanalytic Society, which was heavily influenced by Erich Fromm. After a first stage where a group of psychiatry graduates was trained as psychoanalysts by Fromm at the National Autonomia University of Mexico (the present author was himself among the trainees), the Mexican Psychoanalytic Society was founded in 1956, followed by the Mexican Institute for Psychoanalysis in 1963. An overview is given of the course of studies and methods used at the institute fortraining psychoanalysts; the procedures for screening applicants are also described as well as the various clinical specialties (e.g. focal therapy geared to special groups of clients). The article thus treats the reader to an instructive backward glance at the development of psychoanalysis in Mexico during the 50s and 60s.

>Gruppenpsychologie im totalitären System aus psychoanalytischer Sicht<: Die Autorin diskutiert die Ideen, die drei bedeutende psychoanalytische Denker – Sigmund Freud, Wilfred Bion und Erich Fromm – zu Gruppenprozessen in sozialen Großgruppen entwickelt haben. Ihre Ideen werden im einzelnen dargelegt und auf die Analyse von Gruppenprozessen in totalitären Systemen, wie sie der Autorin von der Tschechoslowakei und der ehemaligen Sowjetunion her bekannt sind, angewandt. Im Anschluss daran werden Überlegungen zur therapeutischen Behandlung von Patienten, die unter diesen Verhältnissen aufgewachsen sind, angestellt und durch klinische Falldarstellungen erläutert.
>Methods of Social Character Research in Erich Fromm<: In the 60s team of cultural anthropologists from Mexico and the United States headed by Erich Fromm conducted a socio-psychological survey, the findings of which were published in 1970 under the title >Social Character in a Mexican Village. A Sociopsychoanalytic Study<. The author of the present essay, who closely collaborated with Fromm on this field project, reports both on the data collection methods and evaluational practices used and on the findings reached by the survey. This co-production with Fromm can certainly lay claim to exemplary status for a large part of the Mexican rural population, pointing to a narrow link between the various manifestations of the social character of the villagers, the role of tradition in the culture and family respectively, and the nexus of economic relationships. This research project resulted in the practical conclusion that the situational realities of the most strongly disadvantaged group in the rural population – young people – needed to be improved by educational programs and agricultural projects, so as to stem the growing polarization between rich and poor among the villagers.

This thesis seeks to uncover the methodological ground-work necessary for the construction of an emancipatory theory of society. The theoretical work of Erich FROMM on the necessary valuative criteria of social sanity is explored first. This leads to a discussion on the subjective and speculative characteristics of social theories; it hopes to demonstrate the presence of an inherent psychological, internal debate that lies at the root of any political agency. This debate is properly located between our accepted social norms and our more deeply rooted, historically acquired beliefs and perspectives, between the public and the private realm. – This dichotomy leads to the more contemporary work of Nancy Chodorow, where this public-private debate is critiqued through the use of the interpretive analysis of object-relations theory, a theory of personality development firmly grounded in specific socially constructed patterns. Her work serves as an example of an interrelational theory of political agency which does not risk becoming self-justifying. This thesis concludes with observations on the fact that mainstream political theory seems to have failed to take into account the subconscious motivational factors as the birth-place of our complex, socio-political behaviour; what we will call the >pre-political,< private debate. It finally restates the possible contribution that psychoanalytic methodology can make to social theory and to the study of political behaviour.
Presents a general approach to a psychology of values and offers a model that integrates the work of M. Scheler (1913, 1916), A. H. Maslow (1970), and E. FROMM (1957). Psychological values are defined as (1) justification for a given way of behaving, thinking, or feeling and (2) the observable aspect of the internal experience of motive. Values are experienced as sensations on the biological levels, as feelings on the prelogical level, as recognized values on the logical level, and as direct experience of values on a supralogical level.
This paper explores the relationship between society and sexuality, which is overlooked in the later phases of Critical Theory. The author begins with a discussion of the role of sexuality in the writings of Wilhelm Reich and Erich Fromm. Reich uniformly celebrates and strategically deploys sexuality to critique Western capitalistic society while Fromm lacks a clear and consistent utilization of sexuality. Reich uses Marx in his predominately Freudian framework of sexual repression in trying to' address the problem of repression and suppression in Western capitalism. Fromm, on the other hand puts Freud into his already Marxist approach 10 authority, the family, and ideology. Adorno, Marcuse, and Horkheimer largely ignored sexuality in their later writings, but instead used Freudian concepts in their theory of the authoritarian personality.
