The Dialectical Humanism of Erich Fromm

Abstract

The author presents an overview of Erich Fromm's theory of human development with special emphasis on the origin of basic human needs, the reciprocal interaction between these needs, and sociocultural structures that mold social character. Different types of social characters are described in terms of socioeconomic structures that produce them. Features of a good society are described, and implications for counselors are specified.
