Description
Summary:	Edelson (psychiatry, Yale Medical School) addresses the status of psychoanalysis as a body of knowledge, clarifying its conceptual and methodological foundations. He shows how the psychoanalytic mode of inquiry--free association and the case study method--can provide rational grounds for believing its clinical causal inferences. Half of the chapters are revisions of versions previously published. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
