In this passionate volume, Sandra Buechler introduces Erich Fromm’s topical contributions to psychoanalysis, sociology, philosophy, political action, and social criticism. After offering a biographical sketch y of Fromm, she is delving into his role as analyst, author, activist, sociologist and philosopher.

From her own experience as a psychoanalyst, and from the testimony of Fromm’s followers, Buechler illuminates 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. Buechler explores how Fromm’s thinking and interdisciplinary vision are able to frame discussions of dilemmas in contemporary society.
