The construction of radical humanism (RH) in the psychoanalysis of E. FROMM is based on the premise that there is a human nature that is characteristic of the human species, common to all who possess the same anatomy and the same physiology, so that a physician would never think of different therapies for sickness depending on the race or color. Humanity seen as a single unit, its individuals possessing the same psychic structure, explains how individuals can comprehend distant cultures, their art, myths, and dramas. The theoretical vision of RH finds its psychoanalytic application mainly in the core-to-core relatedness between analyst and patient. FROMM's concept of passion, character, and liberty is discussed as well as his characterology, biophilia and psychoanalysis as art, the >here and now< of the session, the humanistic vision of transference, and the value of humanism in psychoanalysis.
