Abstract
This chapter first explores studies and movements within the sociology of health. Smith discusses some of the benefits and also some of the deficiencies currently found within this broad area of research, offering suggestions on how this research field might more accurately conceptualize the social determinants of health. Smith then focuses on mainstream theories of pathology within the social sciences, arguing why many are inadequate. He introduces a new, corrected critical conception of social pathology, which includes a penetrating critique of sociological relativism. Using this innovative and multidimensional approach, Smith interprets the seminal works of Fromm: his study of social pathology, critique of Freud and “radical humanism”. Smith then dissects the inadequacies of Freud’s instinct theory, introducing an alternative philosophy of psychology with a more progressive view of the subject; presents an important discussion on norms; and, finally, engages with current arguments in critical theory with a mind towards advancement.
