Researching the Unconscious provides an exposition of key issues in
the philosophy and methods of the social sciences that are relevant
to psychoanalysis, both as a clinical practice and as a human
science. These include the debates initiated by Thomas Kuhn's
theory of scientific revolutions, the "actor-network theory" of
Bruno Latour, the ideas of philosophical realism, distinctions
between "meaningful" and "causal" explanation, and the relevance of
complexity theory and "part-whole analysis" to psychoanalysis. The
book goes on to discuss specific forms and methods of
psychoanalytical research, including the role of case studies, of
outcome research, and of "grounded theory" as a key methodological
resource, of which it provides a detailed example. The book
concludes by outlining principles and methods for psychoanalytic
research in the wider contexts of infant observational studies,
society, and culture. Michael Rustin provides a unifying account of
the methodological principles that underlie the generation of
knowledge in psychoanalysis, in the light of recent developments in
the philosophy and sociology of science. In doing so, it provides a
coherent rationale for psychoanalytic investigation, which will be
of value to those pursuing research in this field. Researching the
Unconscious is unusual in its being based both on a deep
understanding of and respect for psychoanalytical clinical practice
and on its author's wider knowledge of the philosophy and sociology
of science. It is unique in its comprehensive approach to the
principles of psychoanalytic research.
