Personality traits are enduring, usually rigid pattern of behavior, thought (knowledge), and emoting expressed in a variety of circumstances and situations and throughout the life of a (usually young people from the beginning of the next). Some personality traits are harmful to both themselves and others. This is a dysfunctional traits. They often cause anxiety and the relationship is unhappy traits and self-critical. This is called ego-dystony. At other times, even the worst personality traits are happily supported and even flaunted by the patient. This is called “ego-syntony”. Read more…

Diagnosing the nature of the existence of a personality (the application of the diagnostic criteria) is an art, not science. Someone evaluating, appraising patients’ cognitive and emotional landscape, and the motivation for attributing to him, is a matter of judgment. No calibrated scientific instrument that can give us a goal to read whether a lack of empathy, of evil, is sexualizing the situation and the people, or the clinging and the poor. Read more…

Another obstacle in trying to determine the scientific value of psychoanalysis is ambiguity. Not clear, for example, what in psychoanalysis qualify as causes - and what as effects.

Consider critical to build from the unconscious. What is the reason - not cause - our behavior, conscious thoughts, and emotions? Does he provide them with the “ratio” (explanation)? Or they just are not the symptoms? Even these basic questions receive no “dynamic” or “physical” treatment in the classical (Freudian) psychoanalytic theory. So much for ambition to be a scientific attempt.

Psychoanalysis is detailed and supported by epistemic accounts, starting with the master himself. Appeal to one of it’s common sense and previous experience. Its form of this statement is: “given X, Y, and Z reported by the patient - it does not stand to (everyday) reason that causes X?” or “We know that the cause of BM, M is very similar to X, and B is very similar to A. isn ‘t it reasonable to assume that the cause of X?”.

In therapy, the patient and the results confirm the reports by those who feel “right” and “correct”, that they epiphanous and revelatory, that they have the power and retrodictive input, and reporting to the reaction to the doctor-interpreter. Acclamation this story die probative value as the basis of (not to say primitive) form of explanation that provides a framework of time, a similar pattern, and the set of teleological aims, ideas and values.

Juan Rivera is right that Freud about coltish demands of life can not be proven, not even with a movie camera Gedankenexperimental, such as Robert Vaelder proposed. This is equally true that the theory’s etiological claims are epidemiologically untestable, as Grunbaum repeatedly says. However, the failure of miss the point and purpose of psychoanalysis: to organize and provide comprehensive, not tendentious, persuasive and narrative human psychological development.

Such as this must be tested and discarded or falsifiable narrative (as the Logical Positivists insist)?

Depending on if we want to handle as science or as a form of art. This is the circularity of the arguments against psychoanalysis. If the work of Freud is considered the modern equivalent of mythology, religion, or literature - is not considered necessary to test for the “correct” in the deepest sense of the word. After all, how much knowledge from the 19th century that survive to this day Anyhow?

The difference between “correct” theory of dynamics and psychodynamic theories is that the former asymptotically aspire to a goal “the truth” “out there” - while the second appears and appears from a kernel of inner, introspective, truth that immediately familiar and bedrock they gamble. Scientific theory - in comparison with the psychological “theories” - need, therefore, to be tested, falsified, and modified as it is not self-righteousness. Read more…

Indeed, psychological narratives - psychoanalysis, and especially the first - not “scientific theory” by many mouth stretch this label. They also will never become a person. But - like myth, religion, and ideology - they set the principles. Read more…

I was not expert knowledge at all. . . . I am not only a Conquistador by temperament, an adventurer.

(Sigmund Freud, letter to Fleiss, 1900)

“If you remove all that is in you, what you will bear your safety.”

(The Gospel of Thomas)

“No, we do not insubstantial science. But it will be an illusion that science can not give us we can not get elsewhere.”

(Sigmund Freud, “The Future of an Illusion”)

Harold Bloom called Freud “The central imagination we age.” Psychoanalysis is not scientific theory in the strict sense of the word carefully has long been established. However, most of the criticisms of Freud’s work (by many of Karl Popper, Adolf Grunbaum, Havelock Ellis, Malcolm Macmillan, and Frederick Crews) dealing with - long debunked - scientific pretensions.

Patients with personality disorders have alloplastic defenses and an external locus of control. In other words: rather than accept responsibility for the consequences of their actions, they tend to blame other people or the outside world for their misfortune, failures, and circumstances. Consequently, they fall prey to paranoid persecutory delusions and anxieties. When stressed, they try to preempt (real or imaginary) threats by changing the rules of the game, Introducing new variables, or by trying to manipulate their environment to conform to their needs. They regard everyone and everything as mere instruments of Gratification. Read more…
