Erich Fromm Quote

Many psychiatrists, including psychoanalysts, have painted the picture of a normal personality which is never too sad, too angry, or too excited. They use words like infantile or neurotic to denounce traits of types of personalities that do not conform with the conventional pattern of a normal individual. This kind of influence is in a way more dangerous than the older and franker forms of name-calling. Then the individual knew at least that there was some person or some doctrine which criticized him and he could fight back. But who can fight back at science?
