He is editing Fromm’s writings and is the director of the Erich Fromm Institute in Tübingen that houses Fromm’s library and literary estate as well as a huge collection of secondary literature on Fromm. In addition he is the co-director of the Erich Fromm Study Center at the International Psychoanalytic University in Berlin. His own publications mostly refer on social psychological topics. In the last decade he analyzed a new social character orientation that is enthusiastic of constructing reality anew but suffers from an unconscious unbounded self.
