What kind of a science is psychoanalysis? What constitutes its
domain? What truth claims does it maintain? In this unique and
scholarly work concerning the nature of psychoanalysis, Gunnar
Karlsson guides his arguments through phenomenological thinking
which, he claims, can be seen as an alternative to the recent
attempts to cite neuropsychoanalysis as the answer to the crisis of
psychoanalysis. Karlsson criticizes this effort to ground
psychoanalysis in biology and neurology and emphasizes instead the
importance of defining the psychoanalytic domain from the vantage
point of the character of consciousness. His understanding of the
unconscious, the libido and the death drive offer new insights into
the nature of psychoanalysis, and he also illuminates and develops
neglected dimensions such as consciousness and self-consciousness.
Karlsson's approach to psychoanalysis is rigorous yet original, and
this book fills an intellectual gap with implications for both the
theoretical understanding and clinical issues of psychoanalysis.
