Grunbaum characterizes the foundations of psychoanalysis as consisting primarily of two assertions - (1) only psychoanalysis can give correct insight into the unconscious causes of neurosis, and (2) only such correct insight can cure neurosis. Grunbaum infers from these that therapeutic success is the only evidence of the correctness of psychoanalytic theories. It is obvious that the two passages in Freud on which Grunbaum relies do not justify his interpretation. Furthermore, Freud thought of therapeutic success as by no means the only kind of relevant and available evidence for psychoanalytic theory. In a discussion of Grunbaum's critique of Freud's theory concerning the causation of slips of the tongue, it is argued that Grunbaum is committed to mistaken views on the nature of causation in psychology and wholly neglects the important role of analogical thinking not only in psychology but in science generally. |
