In 'The Pathology of Normality,' Erich Fromm applies the psychoanalytic method to critique the pathology of the 'normal' and socially adapted man. Fromm analyzes how passionate impulses influence social behavior and relates them to economic demands, seeking to understand the character traits that develop when adapting to the socioeconomic situation. The author reveals that what is beneficial for the current economic system can be detrimental to mental health, highlighting the growing inability of people to relate to reality. This work proposes a revolutionary vision of the human being and their mental health, advocating for a new humanistic science.
