Abstract One of the important scientific interests of Critical Theory was the study of the subjective dimension of the individual in order to understand and highlight the human contradictions that marked modernity in an indelible way. The rise of fascism, the emergence of Nazi barbarism and the growth of consumer culture in the United States were some of the social phenomena that turned the interest of Critical Theory to the emergence of the psychopathological implications of the modern subject. The integration of Psychoanalysis into the study of the social played an active role in this direction. Thus, the history of human civilization, as presented in the dialectic of the Enlightenment, is understood as an expression of man's domination over nature, himself and others, with the culmination of this act of domination in modern civilization, where the control and use of the "other" is intensified and culminated through the channel of cultural industry. Erich Fromm's analysis follows this critique of modernity mainly through a Social Psychology that promises on a first level to demonstrate the cultural factors that weaken human creativity and turn the individual towards passivity and conformity, and on a second level to put forward certain programmatic statements. The use of Freud's metapsychology for the interpretation of culture in general, and especially of modern culture, can be seen on the one hand as a process of understanding the functioning of the human mechanisms ( Id, Ego and Superego ) that delineate human history and on the other hand as a critique of the claim that lurks in Erich Fromm's thought: that is, the thesis that culture can be a condition for the possibility of the individual's self-realisation. Finally, there follow the critical remarks and conclusions that sometimes support and sometimes oppose the central question of this paper: if the psychopathologically modern subject, if he is totally conformed within the society he has constructed himself and if culture for Fromm is a condition of the possibility of individual happiness, by what route will he overcome his psychopathology?
