Publisher's Synopsis

This book contributes to the debate which revolves around whether psychoanalysis can be treated as a cognitive science - a debate which involves the epistemological status of psychoanalysis and its ethical underpinnings. The authors challenge Karl Popper′s critique of and Adolf Grunbaum′s attack on psychoanalysis. They provide an epistemological rationale for its scientific nature, an ethical rationale for its humanism and a philosophical foundation which they term `cognitivist′.
