Randomized Clinical Trials in Psychotherapy Outcome Research
This paper discusses several philosophical problems with the use of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) in psychotherapy outcome research. The problems include: the impermanence problem, the identification problem, and idiographic problems. The paper concludes with an assessment of the overall case for and against the use of RCTs in psychotherapy outcome research
Freud and the Question of Pseudoscience
In the early 1970s, Cioffi demonstrated that falsified the account of his discovery of the Oedipus complex - an account that had gone unquestioned until that time. Moreover, Cioffi showed that this misrepresentation was necessary to the propagation of the Oedipus theory. The author subsequently revealed Freud's falsifications in retracting his theory of infantile seduction, a revelation that has been often cited in recent books and scholarly jour…
Is a science of psychotherapy possible? Subjectivity problems
Two sorts of subjectivity problems are discussed. The 1st concerns the characterization of psychotherapy as an attempt to alter clients' meanings. The 2nd concerns the seemingly subjective nature of value judgments about psychotherapy outcomes. It is argued that despite initial appearances, neither of these problems poses an insuperable difficulty for transforming the discipline of psychotherapy into a genuine science
A Final Accounting: Philosophical and Empirical Issues in Freudian Psychology
Part 1: Non-natural science standards natural science standards experimental versus non-experimental evidence. Part 2: The pre-1980 experimental evidence recent research programmes - the cognitive turn in Freudian psychology the effectiveness of psychoanalytic therapy a summing-up
The Evaluation of Psychotherapy: A Reply to Greenwood
John Greenwood (this issue) claims that neglect of an important methodological distinction has contributed directly to the “epistemic impoverishment” of empirical studies of all forms of professional psychotherapy. I challenge this claim, as well as other important claims he makes about the efficacy of psychoanalysis and other forms of psychotherapy
The logic of psychoanalytic explanations: A reply to Nussbaum
Analyse des arguments exposes par Charles Nussbaum dans un article de 1991 en lequel il defend en partie la conception de Jurgen Habermas sur la logique des explications psychoanalytiques et refute celle d'Adolf Grunbaum. D'apres l'A., Nussbaum n'a pas reussi a demontrer que les intentions ne sont pas des causes
The Thread of Life
Is Confirmation Differential
The Standing of Psychoanalysis
B. A. Farrell [1981] tries to elucidate some of the rational considerations that determine the standing and value of psychoanalysis. He is sceptical about much of the positive evidence, but he also tries to provide some support for Freudian doctrines. I examine his supporting arguments and try to show that they have serious weaknesses.
