<DIV><DIV><b>Renowned social psychologist Erich Fromm&rsquo;s classic study of Freud&rsquo;s most important&mdash;and controversial&mdash;ideas</b></div><DIV><BR>Bestselling philosopher and psychoanalyst Erich Fromm contends that the principle behind Freud&rsquo;s work&mdash;the wellspring from which psychoanalysis flows&mdash;boils down to one well-known belief: &ldquo;And the truth shall set you free.&rdquo; The healing power of truth is what Freud used to cure depression and anxiety, cutting through repression and rationalizations, and it provided the foundation for modern psychology.</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>Freud&rsquo;s work, however, was not without its flaws. Though he pioneered many of the practices still in use today, Freud&rsquo;s perspective was imperfect. In <i>Greatness and Limitation of Freud&rsquo;s Thought</i>, Fromm deepens the understanding of Freud by highlighting not just his remarkable insights, but also his flaws, on topics ranging from dreams to sexuality. </div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>This ebook features an illustrated biography of Erich Fromm including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author&rsquo;s estate.</div></div>
