Resumen
SANCHEZ-BARRANCO RUIZ, Antonio; SANCHEZ-BARRANCO VALLEJO, Pablo y SANCHEZ-BARRANCO VALLEJO, Fernando. Psychoanalysis: what kind of a science is it?. Rev. Asoc. Esp. Neuropsiq. [online]. 2005, n.96, pp.93-111. ISSN 2340-2733.
The model of scientific knowledge that the academic Psychology had adopted follows, mainly, empirical and experimental criteria. From this standpoint, thus, there have been numerous attempts to devalue the psychoanalytic body of knowledge by being depicted as pseudoscientific or just a myth. Consequently, the psychoanalytic community made some efforts to drive Psychoanalysis closer to Positivism, which had as a result the loss of its essence. However, since the 60's, some psychoanalytic authors have insisted on including the Psychoanalysis as a part of the Historical-Hermeneutic knowledge, in order for its theory and practice to recover all their identity. In our paper, we have briefly reviewed the above ideas, supporting the thesis that, by means of deductive and inductive strategies, Psychoanalysis should be placed into the Historical and Hermeutical boy of knowledge.
