Preface by Jeffrey Alexander and Foreword by Craig Calhoun.
Why does the field of sociology in the United States often overlook or marginalize psychoanalytic
concepts like anxiety, defence mechanisms and the unconscious dating back to Sigmund Freud?
The Unhappy Divorce of Sociology and Psychoanalysis shows that this was not always the case,
and that the field of contemporary sociology can benefit from inclusion of psychoanalytic
perspectives. It features eighteen essays by well-known scholars in and outside the United
States including Nancy Chodorow, George Cavalletto and Catherine Silver, Jeffrey Prager,
Neil Smelser, and Gilda Zwerman alongside junior scholars who are all working on how
sociology, psychoanalysis, and the psychosocial interrelate. The articles consider the history
of the relationship, ongoing debates and the need for psychosocial analyses when studying
racism, gender, immigration, class and the housing crisis, trauma and social movements
(among other applied topics). This book makes a lively case for the significance of tapping into
interdisciplinary approaches, including the psychosocial, if sociology is to offer cutting-edge
research on a range of contemporary social issues requiring multi-dimensional insights.
Recenzijos
Editors Lynn Chancer and James Andrews have gathered together in The Unhappy Divorce of Sociology and Psychoanalysis a notable group of scholars who have studied this rich legacy and who carry on the tradition today. These essays and several others contain enriching insights for sociologists. To overcome our collective resistance to individuality, we may not need the couch, but we definitely need this book. (Christine Williams, Contemporary Sociology, Vol. 46 (1), January, 2017)
'The volume does deliver what it promises diverse perspectives on the psycho-social, and this is its biggest merit. As is indeed the fact that it triggers an awareness raising process, and this is also why it should not be ignored.' - LSE Review of Books

'The Unhappy Divorce of Sociology and Psychoanalysis reboots the long-interrupted conversation between two historic disciplines. As happens when cultures are separated by continental drift and time, differences of language and outlook and discourse obtain. But this book creates a space, a salon, that kickstarts the colloquy between these natural interlocutors into a new momentum. What an exciting development!' - Muriel Dimen, New York University, USA 'This book offers a refurbished analytic tool-kit for thinking across and mapping the gaps between inner and outer, individual and group, psychic and social, repression and oppression. This volume's reach thus goes well beyond the two disciplines named in its title "Sociology" and "Psychoanalysis" to prompt and provoke multiple, vital interdisciplinary investigations of the ways gender, race, and class are built, lived, and contested.' - Ann Pellegrini, New York University, USA
