Although Freud's impact on social science - and indeed20th century social thought - has been extraordinary, hisimpact on American sociology has been left relatively unexplored.This ground-breaking book aims to fill this knowledge gap. Byexamining the work of pioneers such as G.H.Mead, Cooley, Parsonsand Goffman, as well as a range of key contemporary thinkers, itprovides an accurate history of the role Freud and psychoanalysisplayed in the development of American social theory. Despite theoften reluctant, and frequently resistant, nature of thisencounter, the book also draws attention to the abiding potentialof fusing psychoanalytic and sociological thinking.
Freud and American Sociology represents an original andcompelling contribution to scholarly debate. At the same time, theclarity with which Manning develops his comprehensive account meansthat the book is also highly suitable for adoption on a range ofupper-level undergraduate and graduate courses, includingsociology, social theory, social psychology, and relateddisciiplines.
