Social psychologist Erich Fromm gives the opening lecture of his series on humanistic psychology by first examining his definition of and approach to humanistic psychoanalysis. Fromm contends that his approach is neither a specific school of thought nor a revisionism of previous teachings, emphasizing that it is instead part of a renaissance of humanistic thinking. He outlines his plans for the rest of the lecture series, briefly touching on related topics about the passion of man, the ego, and how humanistic psychology relates to existential psychology. He also discusses Sigmund Freud’s theory of the unconscious mind, including an overview of the pre-Freud understanding of the unconscious mind, as well as how Freud influenced psychology’s approach to it.
