Critique and Affirmation in Erich Fromm explores the relations between Erich Fromm's theory and practice in politics and the psychoanalytic clinic - their points of continuity and contradiction.

Drawing on a systematic reading of Fromm's published output, as well as extensive research in the Fromm archives, Matheus Romanetto extracts the fragments of ontology, logic, and ethics implicit in his writings, leading to a re-evaluation of Fromm's place in 20th century intellectual history. Interpolated with the theoretical argument are three historical excursi thematizing Fromm's practice in political life, religious life, and the psychoanalytic clinic, setting the grounds for a new political sociology of radical humanism and critical theory.

Critique and Affirmation in Erich Fromm will be of great interest to psychoanalysts and to academics and scholars of psychoanalytic studies, sociology, contemporary philosophy, political theory, and critical theory.

Industry Reviews

"The book is a unique attempt to use all available sources from the unpublished estate of Erich Fromm, to which the author had access as an Erich Fromm research fellow in Tuebingen (Germany)." - Dr. Rainer Funk, Literary Executor of Erich Fromm and director of the Erich Fromm Institute Tuebingen.

"This conceptually rigorous, clearly written book is a source of inspiration and vitality for clinical work and academic writing. I enthusiastically recommend it to anyone searching for new perspectives on shared values and political action." - Catherine Silver, Senior Psychoanalyst at the National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis, and Emerita Professor of Sociology at the City University of New York.
