Productive Orientation
There is a healthy personality as well, which Erich Fromm occasionally refers to as "the person without a mask" . This is the type of person who, without disavowing his or her biological and social nature, does not avoid freedom and responsibility. This person most likely comes out of a family that loves, which prefers reason to rules, and freedom to conformity.

Famous quotes containing the words productive and/or orientation:
“In the U.S. for instance, the value of a homemaker’s productive work has been imputed mostly when she was maimed or killed and insurance companies and/or the courts had to calculate the amount to pay her family in damages. Even at that, the rates were mostly pink collar and the big number was attributed to the husband’s pain and suffering.”
—Gloria Steinem (20th century)
“Every orientation presupposes a disorientation.”
—Hans Magnus Enzensberger (b. 1929)
