Inhaltsangabe

Provides an introductory analysis of attempts to combine cycle analytical and social theory. Starting from a discussion of the work of Freud, the book goes on to look at more recent attempts to combine the two in the work of members of the Frankfurt school and others such as Christopher Badcock, Christopher Lasch, Talcott Parsons and Eric Erickson. The analysis also covers modern feminist approaches to Freud, notably through the writings of Nancy Chodorow and Juliet Mitchell. The author argues that there is no simple way of combining psychoanalytical and social theory, and that both approaches are limited in scope.

Reseña del editor

Craib clearly demonstrates the need for the integration of psychoanalytic and sociological theory. His arguments incorporate traditional Freudian theory, object relations approaches, and recent feminist contributions to psychoanalytic thought. The author also analysis the views of Christopher Badcock and Herbert Marcuse, Talcott Parsons and Erik Erikson, Jurgen Habermas and Christopher Lasch, Jacques Lacan, and D.W. Winnicot, along with feminist approaches to Freud, from the perspective of Juliet Mitchell and Nancy Chodorow.

Contraportada

Ever since Sigmund Freud wrote in his 'New Introductory Lecture' that 'sociology cannot be anything more than applied psychology', the relationship between psychoanalysis and social theory has been the subject of much debate. In this book, Ian Craib furthers that discussion by examining past attempts to integrate the two disciplines and proposing a new synthesis.
