One of the fundamental works of Erich Fromm – “Freed from Freedom” – is devoted to the psychological aspects of power, dependence and acquisition of individuals of independence. “Can freedom become a burden, unbearable for a person, something that he tries to get rid of? Why is freedom for some – a cherished goal, and for others – a threat?” “Does it not exist – except for an innate desire for freedom – and instinctive craving for submission? .. Is subordination to the source of a certain hidden satisfaction; and if so, what is its essence?”
