Social processes consist of the interaction of biologically independent individuals. This interaction can only be described and understood in terms of psychology. Hence sociology and the psychology of the individual belong close together. Yet sociology and psychology developed independently. Recently recognition of the necessity of integration of both disciplines is increasing. The first attempts at applying a psychological point of view in sociology and a sociological point of view in psychology are characterized by grave methodological errors. One of these errors may be called "psychoanalyzing society"; another, "the sociological point of view in psychiatry." Demonstration of the fallacies contained in these two procedures is made. A correct application of psychoanalytic concepts to sociology is proposed. The historical-cultural-economic understanding of social situations should be combined with the knowledge of emotional mechanisms according to which individuals react to their social situation. The practical significance of psychoanalytic knowledge for the solution of actual social problems is suggested, demonstrating that neurotic mechanism (primarily, projections) aggravate those emotional tensions between individuals, classes, and nationa that exist on the sociological basis of their clashing interests
