Reviews
“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
'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
