Description

This text collects together the author's essays on psychoanalytic concepts. Psychoanalytic theory has had an ambivalent relationship with sociology, and these essays explore that ambivalence, providing arguments about how and why psychoanalytic approaches can deepen the sociological perspective. One of Smelser's main tenets is that human social behaviour always contains both social-structural and social-psychological elements, and that psychoanalytic theory can bridge these two dimensions of human social life. Smelser addresses such issues as interdisciplinarity, the macro-micro link in research, masculinity and violence, and affirmative action.
