Since the 1990s, the social sciences have begun to change.
Traditional models of human rationality which opposed reason to
passion are being challenged. The familiar split between individual
and society, psychology and sociology, is now recognized as
unhelpful to the study of both. And, as ways have been sought to
overcome such splits, psychoanalysis has increasingly appeared in
the breach. Drawing also on some aspects of discourse psychology,
continental philosophy and anthropological and neuro-scientific
understandings of the emotions, psycho-social studies has emerged
as an embryonic new paradigm in the human sciences in the UK.
Psycho-social studies uses psychoanalytic concepts and principles
to illuminate core issues within the social sciences. Psycho-social
studies is also informing the development of new methodologies in
the social sciences including the use of free association and
biographical interview methods, the application of infant
observation methodologies to social observation, the development of
psychoanalytic ethnography/fieldwork and attention to
transference/countertransference dynamics in the research
process.This book examines some of these methodological
developments and draws upon the experiences of a group of
researchers and doctoral students based around the Centre for
Psycho-Social Studies at the University of the West of England.
