Any comprehensive discussion of Elias' take on Freud's social theory? Thank you if you can refer me to sources.
Studying the work of Farhad Dalal on Elias and radical Foulkes, in comparison to Freudian orthodoxy, may perhaps offer some adequate (albeit not exhaustive) answers.
Searching the relevant site (http://norbert-elias.com/en/) may also help.

Hi Andrea
Bernard Lahire has a chapter in the Book Norbert Elias & Social Theory
Lahire, B. (2013). Elias, Freud, and the Human Science. In F. Depelteau & T. S. Landini (Eds.), Norbert Elias and Social Theory (pp. 75-89). New York: Palgrave Macmillian.
There is a range of comparisons of Elias’s The Civilizing Process and Freud’s Civilization and its Discontents - see for example Harry Redner Redner, H. (2017). Freud and Elias: The Civilizing Process. In The Tragedy of European Civilization(pp. 97-124). Routledge.
Thanks,
Hamish
They are in two different fields so there is no possible comparison. One is in the field of psychology or anthropology, the other in the field of socio-history... One is explaining the problems by psyche and the other one by socius... The only link is the question of animals pulsions in the human being.
Dear Hamish, thank you for pointing me towards Lahire's and Redner's work – quite relevant for me!
Maurice Halbwach on memory, or rather social memory was in direct response to the Freudian ideas about memory and the efforts to think of memory as a social process rather than only psychological. It allowed the field of memory studies to emerge with ways of thinking that were not contained within an individualised focus and in turn opened up the possibilities of thinking how memory can be socialising and its processes ‘civilising’
Mayhaps the discussion of honneth and joas on Elias in Social Action and Human Nature would be useful
