Which of Fromm’s existential needs are met for Patrick? Explain.
What will be an ideal response?
Patrick’s need for rootedness is met because “He and his family live in a house next to the one he grew up in and he enjoys attending functions at the school which he attended and which his children now attend.” His need for relatedness is met because of his family and because he is “active in the Congregational Church as an elder.” His need for transcendence is met because he has children and, most likely, must be creative in his work as a lawyer. His identity need is most likely met because he now understands he was hired into his father’s firm based on his own merits. The excitation and stimulation need is most likely met because he is busy with his career, family and church and there is no mention of being overwhelmed by these demands.
