<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b><i>The Sane Society </i>is a continuation and extension of the brilliant psychiatric concepts Erich Fromm first formulated in <i>Escape from Freedom</i>; it is also, in many ways, an answer to Freud's <i>Civilization and its Discontents</i>.</b> <p/> Fromm examines man's escape into overconformity and the danger of robotism in contemporary industrial society: modern humanity has, he maintains, been alienated from the world of their own creation. Here Fromm offers a complete and systematic exploration of his humanistic psychoanalysis. In so doing, he counters the profound pessimism for our future that Freud expressed and sets forth the goals of a society in which the emphasis is on each person and on the social measures designed to further function as a responsible individual.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"A distinguished contribution to a growing body of social psychological reflections on modern times." --<i>The Washington Post</i> <p/>"One is fascinated page after page by the incisiveness of the analysis, the concreteness of the presentation, and the beauty of the style." --<i>Paul Tillich</i> <p/>"A courageous book with a high moral objective...an unflinching indictment of contemporary society." --<i>Guide to Psychiatric and Psychological Literature</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Erich Fromm</b> was a German-born U.S. psychoanalyst and social philosopher who explored the interaction between psychology and society.
