Erich Fromm combined doctoral training in social psychology with decades of active psychoanalytic practice and teaching. His work emphasized ethics, insight, strength of character and ways to mitigate the darker side of human nature. Fromm's books, including Man for Himself (1947), The Sane Society (1955), The Art of Loving (1956), The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness (1973) and To Have or To Be? (1976), were widely popular during his lifetime and remain applicable today. The Clinical Erich Fromm: Personal Accounts and Papers (2009), part of a series on Contemporary Psychoanalytic Studies, fills a historical gap concerning Fromm's practice as a psychoanalyst. The book was meticulously edited by Funk who worked closely with Fromm and is >sole proprietor< of the Fromm archives in Tuebingen, Germany. Twenty-three notable contributors include Ralph Crowley, Marianne Horney Eckardt, Charles Feldstein, Anne Gourevich, Gérard Khoury, Michael Maccoby, Salvador Millán.
Discusses the social aspects of psychotherapy and the history of humanistic psychotherapy based on the works of S. Freud, C. H. Cooley, E. FROMM, and T. Szasz. Psychotherapy cannot exist in a social vacuum, although its central function is to help the individual with personality problems. Social anthropology deals with the problems of different social classes, i.e., those social activities that are part of psychotherapy itself. This anthropological orientation needs to be integrated into the practice of psychotherapy.
