Eric Fromm
Eric Fromm (1900-1980) was a German-American social psychologist, psychoanalyst, and philosopher known for his humanistic approach to psychology and his critique of modern society. He introduced the term 'malignant narcissism' in 1964 to describe a severe form of narcissism characterized by a lack of empathy and moral principles. Fromm's work explored the intersection of psychology and social behavior, shedding light on how individuals can become susceptible to authoritarian leaders and ideologies. His insights remain relevant in understanding the psychological mechanisms behind societal issues.
