Summary:

Scholars are increasingly challenging the view that the psyche and the social are so disparate that their study requires incompatible analytical and theoretical approaches. In this innovative work, George Cavalletto uses key texts by Sigmund Freud, Max Weber, Theodor Adorno and Norbert Elias to show that they crossed the psycho-social divide in ways that can help contemporary scholars to understand the interconnection of these two domains.
