Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work continues the debate on whether psychoanalysis can be treated as a cognitive science, providing an epistemological rationale for the field's scientific validity, as well as an ethical rationale for its humanism. The authors reject the humanist and empiricist constructions of various theories as "foundationalist," and develop a philosophical foundation which they term "cognitivist." They address issues related to social science and society, and to psychotherapeutic research. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
