As such, it also takes cognizance of his claim that psychoanalysis has the credentials of a natural science. It shows that the reasoning on which Freud rested the major hypotheses of his edifice was fundamentally flawed, even if the probity of the clinical observations he adduced were not in question. Moreover, far from deserving to be taken at face value, clinical data from the psychoanalytic treatment setting are themselves epistemically quite suspect.Pittsburghs series in philosophy and history of science.PsychoanalysisPhilosophyanxiety.behavior.childhood memories.childhood.clinical observations.clinical theory.desire.dreams.early psychology.ego.feminism.free association.freud.gender.id.logic.mental health.mental illness.misogyny.molestation.neuroscience.neurosis.nonfiction.personality.philosophy.psychoanalysis.psychological defenses.psychological disorders.psychology.rape.reference.repressed memories.repression.sexual assault.subconscious.superego.talking cure.therapy.trauma.unconscious.PsychoanalysisPhilosophy.150.19/52Grünbaum Adolf45108MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910777942803321The foundations of psychoanalysis3724151UNINA
