This paper explores the rôle that Fromm-Reichmann's parents' adult-onset severe familial deafness may have played in the development of Fromm-Reichmann's career choice and of her charismatic style. She, too, became deaf. Her final paper, >Loneliness< is perhaps her most emotionally evocative work. Perhaps her own increasingly severe experience of loneliness motivated her writing on this theme. Just as she expected self-honesty from her Chestnut Lodge colleagues, this paper demonstrates that she held herself to this same standard. The author urges the deaf community to seek out the newly deaf and to encourage their learning to sign, thus ameliorating the newly deaf individual's loneliness.
With emphasis on E. FROMM's (1947) Man for Himself, an ethological perspective on the relationship between FROMM's interpersonal-cultural theory of behavior and J. Bowlby's (1969, 1973, 1980) attachment theory is presented. Extensions of the attachment theory to autonomy needs, the Oedipus complex, symbiosis, peer relationships, and the family are proposed. Specific aspects of FROMM's theories that are related to ethological principles include the concept of a basic split between humans and nature, the idea of a humanistic conscience, the idea of productive love, and the definition of productiveness.
Discusses the ethical humanism of the late psychoanalyst Eric FROMM and compares it with traditional Judeo Christian theism. Posits that FROMM and traditional theists take radically different positions, making their religious stances fundamentally incompatible. Suggests how these differences could have significant implications for pastoral care.
