Psychotherapy as Praxis: Abandoning Misapplied Science

Continuing his earlier unconventional critiques and proposals concerning the misapplication of science to psychotherapy, the author presents a radical approach based on psychoanalysis and Aristotle's unorthodox and virtually unknown conception of praxis. A detailed example of a praxis-based psychotherapy is developed, and its advantages over mainstream scientifically based treatments are shown. Ways of generalizing this specifically clinical praxis to other contexts (for instance, to sociocultural and philosophical issues) are discussed. The book thus operates on clinical, cultural, and philosophical levels, and will be of interest to specialists and generalists alike.
