For Fromm, the essence of psychological health evolved from the complex interplay and conflict engendered by the meeting of the irrational and rational parts of the personality. In his writing, he was often critical of psychoanalysis but was keen to stress that this was only to stop the practice of psychoanalysis from deteriorating. He strongly believed that analysis existed 'not to cure illness but to help the inner freedom of a person'.
Erich Fromm (1900-1980) was a psychoanalyst for over fifty years, a noted social scientist, and the author of many bestsellers, including The Art of Loving, To Have or to Be and The Art of Being.
