About the book: 2000 / The founder of neo-Freudianism E. Fromm talks in the works collected in this book about how the inner world of a person is transformed. The patient comes to the doctor and together they wander along the back streets of memory, in the depths of the unconscious, to discover hidden secrets. A person’s entire being goes through shock, through catharsis. Is it worth forcing the patient to relive life’s cataclysms, childhood pains, and the beginnings of painful impressions? The scientist develops the concept of two polar modes of human existence - possession and being. The book is intended for a wide range of readers.
