Bocock Robert (Editor). Sigmund Freud (Key Sociologists)

Taylor & Francis e-Library, 2005. 138 pages.To those who see Freud solely as a psychologist and a psychotherapist it may be surprising to find him discussed as a major contributor to sociology. Bocock demonstrates Freud's central relevance to sociological discussions about gender, sexuality, the family, religion, ideology and symbolism, political authority, and language. This is the only overview of Freud's work to focus on his sociological relevance.
