Time and Place: New York at Kaufman Concert Hall on April 27, 1965

Abstract: Opening lecture of the Humanist Psychoanalysis series, given by Erich Fromm on the invitation of the Young Men’s and Young Women’s Hebrew Association at Kaufman Concert Hall.

The lecture addresses humanistic psychoanalysis not as a separate school of thought, but as an important enhancement of Enlightenment humanistic thinking. This was made possible by Freud’s discovery of paths to the unconscious. The lecture (59’) is followed by Fromm’s answers (33’) to questions from the audience.

The text of the lecture and discussion can be downloaded as a PDF file.
