Problems once framed in social terms gradually became redefined as individual with regards to scope and remedy, with economics and psychology winning influence over the social sciences. By the 1970s, both economics and psychology had spread their intellectual remits wide: psychology's concepts suffused everyday language, while economists entered a myriad of policy debates. Psychology and economics contributed to, and benefited from, a conception of society that was increasingly skeptical of social explanations and interventions. Sociology, in particular, lost intellectual and policy ground to its peers, even regarding "social problems" that the discipline long considered its settled domain. The book's ten chapters explore this shift, each refracted through a single "problem": the family, crime, urban concerns, education, discrimination, poverty, addiction, war, and mental health, examining the effects an increasingly individualized lens has had on the way we see these problems"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Social problems $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Social sciences $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a United States $x Social policy. 650 7 $a Social policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122738 650 7 $a Social problems. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122778 650 7 $a Social sciences. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122877 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Fontaine, Philippe, $d 1960- $e editor. 700 1 $a Pooley, Jefferson, $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317022607.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AD821CE8CF3111EB9A1890BA3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
