The neurosciences are more than a collection of scientific practices – they offer up new ways of thinking about mind, body and society. Up to now, debate about the “new brain sciences” has been limited within sociology. As the neurosciences gain ever more traction within professional arenas, policy processes and popular culture, it is time to go beyond the primarily speculative and theoretical analyses we have had to date, and bring our sociological imagination to bear. This collection addresses this need for sociological insight through empirically rich, theoretically innovative chapters that range across methods, traditions and foci in order to cast new light on the place, role and impact of neuroscience. At the same time, this volume reflects on the insights the neurosciences have to offer sociology. With cutting-edge contributions from leading scholars from Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Israel, the UK and the USA, Sociological Reflections on the Neurosciences will be a benchmark text in the new sociology of neuroscience.

Sociology of Diagnosis Advances in Medical Sociology Volume 12 Editors PJ McGann, University of Michigan, MI, USA David J. Hutson, University of Michigan, MI, USA Synopsis This is the only book to provide a comprehensive introduction to the sociology of diagnosis through original theoretical and empirical work by established and emerging scholars and, as such, it is poised to become a touchstone volume. Sixteen articles are presented across four sections. Power and the Politics of Diagnosis explores diagnosis as a process of definition that includes: labeling dynamics between “diagnoser” and diagnosed; boundary struggles between diverse constituents – both among medical practioners and between medical authorities and others (such as lay persons, legal, religious, and/or governmental agents); and the symbolic and material interests behind contested diagnoses. “Identity, Experience, and Action” analyzes the impact of diagnosis on individual identity and illness experience, diagnosis as a basis for collective identity, and social action in relation to diagnoses. “Diagnosis and Social Control” considers the role of diagnosis in norm enforcement and the production of moral boundaries and social standards, and diagnosis in relation to medicalization. “Nosological Dynamics” explores diagnoses as sociopolitico entities embedded in social relations.
