Erich Fromm (1900 to 1980) was a German-American social psychologist, psychoanalyst, sociologist and humanistic philosopher, born in Frankfurt am Main. A German Jew who fled the Nazi regime, he settled in the United States and helped found the William Alanson White Institute of Psychiatry, Psychoanalysis and Psychology in New York City. He was associated with the Frankfurt School of critical theory and, together with Karen Horney and Harry Stack Sullivan, belongs to the Neo-Freudian school of psychoanalytic thought. His widely read books, among them Escape from Freedom, The Art of Loving and To Have or to Be?, joined Freud's study of the unconscious with attention to economic and social life, asking how society shapes character.
