The author shows the connections between Alice Miller and relational psychoanalysts such as Sandor Ferenczi, Karen Horney, Erich Fromm and John Bowlby, although she herself would have objected to being described as a psychoanalyst.
The author stresses Fromm’s role as a precursor in psychoanalysis and shows his connections with three scientific developments following on his death in 1980: the trauma literature, attachment theory and the evolution of altruism.
