SUMMARY:HUMANISM IN FROMM AND SHAKESPEARE WITH SANDRA BUECHLER\, PhD

By juxtaposing their lines\, she hopes to convey the timelessness of both\, suggesting that Fromm’s insights gain vividness in Shakespeare’s neighborhood\, and Shakespeare’s lines sharpen from being beside Fromm’s formulations. More specifically\, in juxtaposing Fromm’s words about life with Shakespeare’s similar expressions\, she suggests that some insights are for all time\, spanning eras and geography: they are human.\n\nABOUT OUR PRESENTER\nSandra Buechler\, PhD\, is a Training and Supervising Analyst at the William Alanson White Institute.  Her many books include Making a Difference in Patients’ Lives (2008)\, which won the Gradiva award;  Still Practicing: The Heartaches and Joy of a Clinical Career (2012); Understanding and Treating Patients in Clinical Psychoanalysis: Lessons from Literature (2015); and Psychoanalytic Approaches to Problems in Living\, (Routledge\, 2019).  Her most recent bookis Erich Fromm:  A Contemporary Introduction (Routledge\, 2025).\n\nJoin us for this special guest and her presentation and discussion of universal and timeless themes.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrances V.
