COVER; ABOUT THE EDITORS AND CONTRIBUTORS; INTRODUCTION; CHAPTER ONE Critique of Psychoanalysis; CHAPTER TWO Psychoanalysis and philosophy of science: basic evidence; CHAPTER THREE Critique of Grünbaum's "Critique of psychoanalysis"; CHAPTER FOUR From scientific explanations to micropsychology: what should psychoanalytic theories be like?; CHAPTER FIVE Psychoanalysis and philosophy of science: reply to Brakel and Talvitie; CHAPTER SIX Two fundamental problems for philosophical psychoanalysis; CHAPTER SEVEN The scientific status of psychoanalysis revisited.

CHAPTER EIGHT Freud and Wittgenstein in the cuckoo's nestCHAPTER NINE Psychoanalytic research with or without the psyche? Some remarks on the intricacies of clinical research; CHAPTER TEN Repression, defence, and the psychology of science; NOTES; REFERENCES; INDEX.

Summary: The perennial interest in psychoanalysis shows no signs of abating and the longevity of psychoanalytic theory is seen in the varied extensions and elaborations of Freudian thinking in the fields of neuroscience and cognitive theory. Nevertheless, the scientific standing of psychoanalysis has long been questioned and developments in the fields of the philosophy of science and psychology require a fresh assessment of the scientific standing of psychoanalysis. While there are a range of views on the topic of whether psychoanalysis is in fact scientific, any satisfactory approach to understanding.
