Reality, psychoanalysis, and hermeneutical science

Anders Lindseth

pp. 133-156

It is a difficult and demanding but also an interesting task to answer the commentaries upon my essay, because they treat very different and important aspects of the problem of a hermeneutical foundation of psychoanalysis as a science. Almost all the commentators have concerned themselves with two themes, and it therefore seems to me particularly important to explicate them in greater detail. The first point is of a general, the second of a somewhat more specific nature, the former being the concept and the possibility of a hermeneutical science as such, and the latter the concept of a therapeutical inner dialogue. These are more closely related to each other than one might first expect and are of central importance for philosophy as well as for psychology.
