This thoroughly revised edition of The Sociology of Mental
Disorders presents a biosocial model for understanding mental
disorders, which integrates the sociological paradigm with current
research in the epidemiology of mental disorders and on biological
features of mental disorders. It shows the many ways in which
macrosocial factors-such as stratification, integration, and
culture-and microsocial factors-such as self-concept formation,
socialization, and imitation-influence the distribution of mental
disorders throughout the population, in combination with
psychological and biological factors. The author adopts an
epistemological point of view, comparing and contrasting various
frameworks for comprehending bizarre forms of deviance that are
labeled as mental disorders, including a definition of mental
disorder that is purely sociological. He introduces new data and
frameworks concerning the process of social stratification and
mental disorders, the diffusion of somatoform disorders, mental
disorders in the modern world, and the insane society. Original
data from classic research studies in the field are introduced and
discussed to illustrate the application of sociological frameworks
to the problem of bizarre deviance. Carefully selected first-person
accounts of the experience of bizarre deviance add poignancy to the
presentation, along with examples of official diagnostic criteria.
