Freud, they might argue, was not only (and very explicitly) a psychologist, but also (and equally explicitly) a clinical psychologist, whose most immediate preoccupation was that of trying to cure the mental illnesses of his patients.

Demonstrates Freud's relevance to discussions about gender, sexuality, family, religion, ideology, symbolism, political authority, and language. Examines the influence that Freud's theories had upon sociological schools.

This volume presents a critical overview of major sociological approaches to the process of consumption, in both modern and postmodern societies. It develops an analysis of consumption as a socio-cultural process, and of the ideology of consumerism.
