Abstract

This article focuses on a psychobiographical study examining the concept of love in the life and work of Erich Fromm, a German-Jewish sociologist and psychoanalyst known for his book *The Art of Loving* (1956). Conducted by researchers at the University of London, the qualitative study uses content analysis to explore how Fromm viewed love as an active skill requiring discipline, patience, and understanding, encompassing various forms such as love of God, family, romantic relationships, and self-love. The study identifies four core aspects of love according to Fromm: care, responsibility, respect, and knowledge, and suggests that his concept of love may have evolved from his personal experiences. The research encourages further detailed analysis of Fromm’s ideas within person-oriented research in psychology. [Extracted from the article]
