I'll come back to this sometime in the next year (I hope), but let state without much defense or explanation now a tentative response: A class analysis which incorporates psychology can only lead to identity politics in their most useless form; it transforms class from a social relation to a mechanical and static conditon which shapes individual psychologies. This won't do -- but I think it is a place to start from.
