Book review: the unhappy divorce of sociology and psychoanalysis: diverse perspectives on the psychosocial, edited by Lynn Chancer and John Andrews

Why have sociologists tended to overlook the work of their colleagues in the field of psychology? This collection aims to consider the history of the relationship, ongoing debates and the need for psychosocial analyses when studying social movements, for example. The volume does deliver what it promises – diverse perspectives on the psycho-social, and this is its biggest merit, writes Dariusz Gafijczuk.
