"In this illuminating volume, Sandra Buechler introduces Erich Fromm's groundbreaking contributions to psychoanalysis, sociology, philosophy, political action and social criticism. Buechler explores how Fromm's thinking and interdisciplinary vision are able to frame discussions of dilemmas in contemporary society. She offers a comprehensive biography of Fromm, before delving into his role as analyst, author, activist, sociologist and philosopher. From her own experience as a psychoanalyst and testimonies from Fromm's many ardent followers, Buechler highlights Fromm's capacity to inspire. She considers how Fromm's writing equips students, beginning clinicians and more experienced professionals to understand what can give meaning to their efforts on behalf of troubled individuals, their riven communities and the wider world. Assuming no prior knowledge of Fromm's work, this book offers students in clinical and social psychology, sociology, and philosophy a vital insight into his theoretical contributions"-- Provided by publisher.
