The Crisis of Psychoanalysis

This book brings together Erich Fromm's basic statements on the application of psychoanalytic theory to social dynamics. At the same time it offers an image of man consonant with the hopes of radical humanism.   The Crisis of Psychoanalysis is a collection of nine brilliant essays. Although his work is deeply rooted in Freudian theory, Fromm further develops Freud's doctrines by including both social and ethical dimensions and applies his discoveries and insights to address the problems we face in society at large.
