Roachboy: Generally, I don't have a problem with the investigation of unconscious processes. I do agree that in the history of psych in America, many psychologists looked at investigations of the unconscious with disdain (at least until the 60s and 70s). I don't understand how psychoanalysis can be demonstrated falsifiable on its own terms. Are you referring to therapeutic outcomes? I haven't seen much evidence that psychoanalysis yields effective treatment regimens.
