In his thorough and comprehensive analysis, Fromm looks deep into the personality of Freud, and the followers who tried to dogmatize Freud's theory rather than support the further stages of psychoanalysis. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Erich Fromm including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author's estate.
