Fromm (1900-80) is known chiefly as a philosopher and social critic, but here mental health professionals, some of whom worked with him, introduce him as a practicing psychoanalyst and describe
his therapeutic technique. Among their concerns are what therapeutic goals he set himself, how he shaped the therapeutic relationship, what pathways to the unconscious he favored, what role he
saw for the psychoanalyst's own personality, and how much truth and directness he thought his patients could tolerate. The anthology is not indexed. Annotation 穢2009 Book News, Inc., Portland,
