Near Fine, in near fine dust jacket. Psychological Issues Monograph 61. Inscribed on flyleaf: 'For Marshall,/who gave me a great/deal of food for thought,/as shown herein,/with much affection,/Adolf.' 'This volume joins the issue with Marshall Edelson's defense of the investigative viability of the single-subject case study method' (front dust jacket flap). For Edelson (d. 2005), see pp. ix, x, 110, 113, 115, 150-151, 156-160, 162, 169, 229, 232, 233-256, 384. '[Edelson] explored such topics as the boundaries between psychoanalytic theory and the social sciences in such books as 'Language and Interpretation in Psychoanalysis.' Edelson explored the scientific status of psychoanalysis in his works 'Hypothesis and Evidence in Psychoanalysis' and 'Psychoanalysis: A Theory in Crisis,' and applied the philosophy of science to the task of formulating and testing psychoanalytic theory' (Obituary, Yale Bulletin & Calendar, Jan. 28, 2005, Vol. 33, No. 16). 'Marshall Edelson (1984) says there have been three important philosophical challenges to the status of psychoanalysis as science. The first two, logical positivism and the claim by Popper that analytic propositions cannot in any way be falsified (and thus cannot meet the crucial requirements he believed demarcated science from non-scientific activities), seem in retrospect 'hardly worth the bother of a response'. But, says Edelson, 'I cannot think that will ever be said about the third' (p. 1). This third, presumably more daunting philosophical challenge, has recently been mounted by Adolf Grunbaum is his The Foundations of Psychoanalysis (1984) . Even Edelson (1984), who contests Grunbaum's claim that single-subject clinical research is without scientific validity, still agrees with his basic philosophical position' (Vann Spruiell, 'The Foundations of Psychoanalysis: An Essay on a Philosophical Book by Adolf Grünbaum').
