Abstract

This book consists thematically of three broad sections: (1) a lengthy introduction (approximately one third of the book) in which Grünbaum critically assesses the hermeneutic construal of psychoanalysis, as represented in the work of Habermas, G. S. Klein, and Ricoeur; (2) a critical examination of Popper's assessment of both psychoanalysis and inductivism; and (3) a logical analysis of core psychoanalytic ideas that constitute the foundation for much of psychoanalytic theory. This last section is, in my view, the heart of the book and therefore, it is that section on which I will focus in this review.
