While mental health figured prominently in the writings of
classical sociologists, contemporary sociologists often view
research on mental health as peripheral to the "real work" of the
discipline. The essays in this volume reassert the centrality of
research in mental health to sociology. First, they articulate the
contributions that mental health research has made and can make to
resolving key theoretical and empirical debates in important areas
of sociological study. Second, they draw from mainstream theories
and concepts to reconsider the potential of sociology to provide
answers to critical questions regarding the social origins of and
social responses to mental illness. As reflected in the title, the
sociological study of mental health provides a reflection of the
central processes that characterize our society.
