Abstract

A few years ago, the librarians at my college requested faculty and staff to select their favorite books for a display. I didn’t hesitate before naming Erich Fromm’s The Art of Loving1 as one of mine. The author, a practicing psychoanalyst forced to flee Nazi Germany in 1933 and who emigrated to the United States, became a prolific writer and political activist and taught for a time at Columbia University.
