| Reflecting on those people who are
at odds with or at war against society, their social situation, and their psychological situation, this book reviews and integrates the substantial sociological and psychological studies of criminals, sexual deviants, drug abusers, the mentally ill, bohemians, and political radicals. Unlike most books on deviance, this one is not only sociological, but psychological as well. Usually these two facets are dealt with in different and separate literatures; this book connects them. |

| | | "As both a psychoanalyst and a professor of sociology, Robert Endleman is in a unique
position to avoid the major pitfalls of trying to integrate psychoanalysis and social science. He never stereotypes the content, methods, or concepts of anthropology, sociology, or psychoanalysis. Nor does he exaggerate the degree of consensus in either field; rather he skillfully guides us through complex issues and technical controversies without ever losing our interest." --Roberta Satow, Psychoanalytic Review 72:1:Sp./85 |
