Resumen
HUESO HOLGADO, Héctor y CUERVO DIAZ, Fanny. Psychoanalysis, science or pseudoscience?: from Popper to Ricoeur, and from Freud to Modell. Rev. Asoc. Esp. Neuropsiq. [online]. 2016, vol.36, n.129, pp.103-119. ISSN 2340-2733.
Over a hundred years of literature on psychoanalysis seem not to have been enough to agree on the epistemological nature of psychoanalysis and whether it can be considered a science or not, since its characteristics and scope of investigation has permeable boundaries between science, philosophy and hermeneutics. We propose to review the concept of science from Popper's positivism to the hermeneutics of Dilthey and Ricoeur, and we also consider some epistemological positions that have been held within psychoanalysis. We agree with Modell that the epistemological approach which best justifies psychoanalysis is the "complementarity principle" between science and hermeneutics as proposed in atomic physics by Niels Bohr.
