Psychoanalysis at the Limit by Jon Mills
Psychoanalysis has long been charged as being a pseudoscience. This timely book explores and reexamines the nature of psychoanalysis within contemporary debates about science, epistemology, unconscious experience, and the philosophy of mind. Distinguished scholars and practitioners from diverse backgrounds in psychoanalysis, philosophy, and psychology offer both favorable and critical accounts of psychoanalytic theory and practice from Freud and Lacan through contemporary revisionist philosophical perspectives."…a noteworthy book that bases psychoanalysis's scientific status on philosophical considerations" — Psychologist-Psychoanalyst
"The scholarship is first rate—a delightful read." — David E. Shaner, coauthor of Science and Comparative Philosophy: Introducing Yuasa Yasuo
