Qué es el sociopsicoanálisis

Psychoanalytical methodology and sociological theory are combined to produce a sociopsychoanalytic approach in the study of social character of groups. An overview of sociopsychoanalytical research is presented, based on E. FROMM's 2 major contributions to the discipline: the sociopolitical study of German workers in the Hitler era, and a later project concerned with social pathology in a small Mexican village. In the former study, efforts were made to determine the degree of authoritarianism in the character of those workers who were pro-Nazi, and of those who held socialistic and democratic values. In the latter study, focus was on the high incidence of violence and alcoholism among a specific group of Mexican peasants, and whether these were symptoms related to social conditions or were negative characteristics shared by a social group. Interpretive questionnaire's were employed in both studies. Sociopsychoanalysis has much to contribute to the traditional methods of studying man and society that are presently used by social anthropologists and sociologists
