Fromm was the only Frankfurt psychoanalyst who followed the Institut to America
Evidence
Joining Landauer as permanent members were Heinrich Meng, Erich Fromm, and Fromm’s wife, Frieda Fromm-Reichmann. In the first few months of the Psychoanalytic Institute’s existence, public lectures were delivered by such luminaries of the movement as Hanns Sachs, Siegfried Bernfeld, Anna Freud, and Paul Federn. Georg Groddeck was also a frequent visitor. Of the four permanent members, Fromm, who had been Lowenthal’s friend for over a decade, and who was introduced by him to the Institut, soon established himself as its most important figure. Only he rejoined the Institut fiir Sozialforschung after its emigration to America, where he soon established himself as one of the most prominent of the so-called NeoFreudian revisionists. — Martin Jay, The Dialectical Imagination, 319
