Abstract
This chapter explores and discusses: -Erich Fromm's career path and scholarly identity - from his youth, to his doctoral research, through to his psychoanalytic training. -Erich Fromm's entry into a key organization in the history of the social sciences: the Institute for Social Research (now known as the Frankfurt School). -Group dynamics among key figures within the Frankfurt School, including Max Horkheimer and Theodore Adorno. -Erich Fromm's professional development and his contribution to the Frankfurt School's research. -Erich Fromm's influence on the Frankfurt School's research agenda and his seminal contribution to their now famous research into the authoritarian personality. -The reasons for interpersonal tension between Erich Fromm and others in the Frankfurt School. -Erich Fromm's dissent against Freudian psychoanalysis and the importance placed on libidinal instincts by Sigmund Freud. Freud had many supporters within the Frankfurt School and Fromm's critique of Freud increased tension. -The reasons why Erich Fromm left the Frankfurt School.
