A Sociological View of Normality

Archives of General Psychiatry, 1967
IN REVIEWING what sociologists have to say about normality and abnormality, in their recent book Offer and Sabshin 1 remark that sociologists prefer to talk about deviance rather than about abnormality—and indeed, about deviant acts (and how they become defined as deviant) rather than about either deviance as such, or deviant persons.

Will sociology ever be a normal science?

Theory and Society, 1988

Introduction: Normality as a Sociological Concept

2015
One of the most interesting promises of sociology, according to C. Wright Mills (1959), lies in its ability to connect private troubles and public issues.

Comments on American Sociology: From Pre-Disciplinary to Post-Normal

The American Sociologist, 2014
Stephen Turner’s book, American Sociology, is valuable contribution to the history of the field. In this comment paper, however, I raise questions about two of its core claims: that the feminization of American sociology prevented its collapse, and that the discipline has a two-tiered status structure, with activist scholarship located primarily in the

In Defense of "Normal Science" Confessions of a Sociological Methodologist

Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion, 1975
D avid McCloskey's comment in the December 1974 issue of this journal on the earlier article by Professor Clyde and myself (Lee and Clyde, 1974) raises an interesting, theoretical point.
