The term "social character" is at the center of Erich Fromm's psychoanalytical thought. The significance of this term in Fromm's approach to psychoanalysis, how he understands it, how it is molded and what its function is will be the first topic of this paper. Since I have already dealt with the concept of social character elsewhere, I would like to confine myself to a summary and say some words on the background against which Fromm developed his psychoanalytical approach.
