Reviews and Endorsements
'This book is a most welcome and topical contribution. It deals with the nature of psychological explanations and the demands we need to meet in forwarding psychoanalytical facts to a broader scientific community. The reader is drawn into an original and exciting line of arguments, and the author manages to be both scholarly and funny - a combination which leads to a most enjoyable reading experience. The book can be recommended to psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, and everybody interested in the structure of argumentation in the behavioural sciences.'
- Henrik Enckell, MD, PhD, training and supervising psychoanalyst, past Editor of The Scandinavian Psychoanalytic Review and Member of The European Editorial Board of The International Journal of Psychoanalysis
'Talvitie offers a rich tapestry of issues on the foundations of psychoanalysis, which he treats in a versatile, sophisticated manner. The informed reader will therefore find his writing very rewarding.'
