The Art of Listening is a 1994 book on psychology by the psychoanalyst Erich Fromm. In the work, Fromm elucidates his therapeutic method of dealing with the psychological sufferings of people in contemporary society.[1] Fromm's work contains a great deal of clinical reflections of the psychoanalyst.[2] In The Art of Listening, Fromm studies the communication between analyst and analysand in which the analyst offers himself as a human being specially trained in the "art of listening." The art of therapy is the art of listening.[3]
In The Art of Listening, Fromm suggests that a person's character orientation results from socialization into shared psychic attitudes of a particular society.[4]
