Fromm, Erich Pinchas
(2003)
Man for Himself: a classic?
(2003)
Psychoanalysis can contribute quite a lot to the question of values and to a theory of ethics. While the first part of this presentation is focused on the impact psychoanalysis continues to exert on present day ethical theory, the second part discusses Erich Fromm’s particular approach to psychoanalysis. Fromm was the first to reformulate in his psychoanalytic approach the idea of an ethic of the virtues. With his theory of character (and of social character) he made values an integral part of psychoanalytic theory. Hence, what matters most morally from a psychoanalytic stance is the quality of character orientation. Despite the fact that – in Fromm’s own socio-psychoanalytic approach – man’s character is the product of adaptation to the environment, morality for him is dictated by economic and social requirements – whatever common sense may tell us to the contrary. For Fromm there is an intrinsic primary tendency to growth in all human beings. Thus, morally good is whatever furthers the growth of our own powers by which we relate to the outside world and to ourselves in a loving, >sane< and creative way. The last section reflects some implications of Fromm’s approach to understanding values as an integral part of psychoanalytic theory, and finally discusses whether the search for truth and human values is as obsolete as postmodern thinking claims.
Einführung in die Tagung,
(2002)
Um Erich Fromms Beitrag zur Psychoanalytischen Pädagogik zu erheben, wird zunächst aufgezeigt, dass sich eine am Sein orientierte Erziehung nur von den Wirkungen her definieren lässt, die ein konkretes pädagogisches oder didaktisches Tun zeitigt. Die aufgezeigten Wirkungen einer am Sein orientierten Erziehung stellen zugleich Leitwerte psychisch gelingenden Lebens und Zusammenlebens dar, während eine Orientierung am Haben zu einer Entfremdung des Menschen von seinen Eigenkräften und vom anderen Menschen führt.—Die die Entfremdung des Menschen fördernde Psychodynamik der Orientierung am Haben wird im Hauptteil zum einen am Beispiel autoritärer Strukturen verdeutlicht, zum anderen für Strukturen aufgewiesen, die vom Marketing bestimmt sind. Hierbei werden noch einmal zwei verschiedene Arten der Marketing-Orientierung unterschieden: die produktorientierte und die Wirklichkeit inszenierende. Da gerade letztere immer dominanter wird, werden abschließend hierzu schulpädagogische Hinweise für eine Erziehung zur Orientierung am Sein gegeben.

Erich Fromm's Role in the Foundation of the IFPS. Evidence from the Erich Fromm Archives in Tübingen
(2000)
First the role is discussed that Erich Fromm played in the foundation of the International Federation of Psychoanalytic Societies (IFPS) according to the documents and correspondence kept in the Fromm Archives in Tübingen (Germany). In the second part the perhaps more interesting question is discussed of what personally motivated Fromm to initiate and to establish a federation of psychoanalytic societies outside of the International Psycho-Analytical Association (IPA). Although the reasons and motivations for Fromm's initiative are in the first line historical they nevertheless have some impact on the present. Therefore, in a final section, Fromm's understanding of psychoanalysis is discussed as a challenge for the IPA as well as for the IFPS.
