The Sane Society
Book • 1955
In *The Sane Society*, Erich Fromm extends and expands on the psychiatric concepts he first formulated in *Escape from Freedom*.
The book is also a response to Sigmund Freud's *Civilization and its Discontents*.
Fromm examines the tendency of modern humans to escape into overconformity and the danger of robotism in contemporary industrial society.
He argues that modern society has alienated individuals from their own creation and proposes a humanistic psychoanalysis as a way to counter this alienation.
The book sets forth the goals of a society that emphasizes individual responsibility and social measures to support personal growth and well-being.
