philosophical issues in psychoanalysis  

Definition(s)

  • Philosophical discussions of psychoanalysis have frequently focused on two topics: (1) how well psychoanalytic theories can be regarded as evidentially supported by the clinical data they are initially framed to explain and (2) how far particularly psychoanalytic conceptions of unconscious mental states and processes should be regarded as viable. The first of these will be the main topic of this entry, and the second will be briefly considered at the close.
