This paper provides a conceptual framework for understanding the relationship of psychiatry, epidemiology, and sociology. After a section on definitions, seven empirical contributions by sociologists to the field of psychiatric epidemiology are briefly presented to illustrate the notion of the social fact (contributions by Durkheim, Dunham, Hollingshead, Srole and Langner, Kerckhoff and Back, Dohrenwend, and Brown). Four broad sociological theories are reviewed, as illustrations of the sociological imagination (stratification theory, the idea of Verstehen, symbolic interactionism, and the sociology of knowledge). It is concluded that two major contributions of sociology to psychiatric epidemiology are the concepts and data related to the social fact, and the possibilities offered by the sociological imagination.
本文提供了一个概念框架，用于理解精神病学、流行病学和社会学之间的关系。在关于定义的部分之后，简要介绍了社会学家对精神疾病流行病学领域的七项实证贡献，以阐明社会事实的概念（涂尔干、邓纳姆、霍林斯黑德、斯罗尔和兰格纳、克尔克霍夫和巴克、多赫伦温德以及布朗的贡献）。回顾了四种广泛的社会学理论，作为社会学想象力的例证（分层理论、理解的概念、符号互动论和知识社会学）。得出结论认为，社会学对精神疾病流行病学的两大贡献是与社会事实相关的概念和数据，以及社会学想象力所提供的可能性。
