The Art Of Listening

“这是一本值得一读的好书；它不是关于精神分析技术，而是他对病人的热情同理心和人文主义观点的证据”贝蒂·古尔德，《自我与社会》

尽管埃里希·弗洛姆被认为是一位杰出的社会评论家，但他先是我们这个时代伟大的精神分析学家之一。这些遗作结合了弗洛姆思想的两个方面，展示了他如何以弗洛伊德理论为基础，并用自己的人文主义观点对其进行了修改。

对于弗洛姆来说，心理健康的本质源于人格中非理性和理性部分的相遇所产生的复杂相互作用和冲突。在他的著作中，他经常批评精神分析，但他热衷于强调这只是为了阻止精神分析实践的恶化。他坚信分析的存在“不是为了治愈疾病，而是为了帮助一个人获得内在的自由”。

此版纪念了《倾听的艺术》首次以英文出版三十周年，将焦点转移到弗洛姆作为倾听艺术的分析家和大师身上，并附有主编雷纳·芬克的新介绍。

'It is a beautiful book to read; it is not about psychoanalytic technique, but evidence of his warm empathy and humanistic view of his patients' Betty Gould, Self & Society

Though thought of as a brilliant social commentator, Erich Fromm was first and foremost one of the great psychoanalysts of our time. These posthumous writings combine two aspects of Fromm's thinking, showing how he built on Freudian theory and also modified it with his own humanist point of view.

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'.

This edition, commemorating thirty years since the first English publication of The Art of Listening, redirects attention to Fromm as analyst and master of the art of listening, and features an updated introduction from editor Rainer Funk.
