TY - JOUR A1 - Lothane, Zvi T1 - Adolf Grünbaum's Critique of Psychoanalysis: Requiem or Reveille? JF - International Forum of Psychoanalysis, Oslo (Scandinavian University Press) Vol. 10 (No. 2, June 2001), pp. 113-132. N2 - Already in the first decade of the 19th century and of its existence psychoanalysis has been under attack. Freud the psychoanalyst, the moralist, and the healer, and his new message to mankind, were under fire both ad rem and ad hominem: people attacked both the message and the messenger. In the recent decades, one of the most powerful challengers of Freud's legacy is Pittsburgh philosophy professor Adolf Gr nbaum. This paper is the author's answer to Gr nbaum's challenges, as presented at the 1998 IFPS Congress in Madrid. The author offers a rebuttal of a number of Gr nbaum's critical contentions about the legitimacy of psychoanalysis as a method, a theory of disorder, and a healing profession and analyzes the flaws in Gr nbaum's arguments.
