Description
Thinking in Cases by John Forrester This book explores how using specific case histories can be used to think systematically about social, psychological and historical processes. Forrester examines the meanings of psychoanalytic cases, how they are characterized and accounted for as a particular kind of writing. He draws connections between psychoanalysis, law, medicine, philosophy, and science, considering the work of thinkers such as Freud, Foucault, Kuhn, Hacking, Stoller, Einstein, and others. This thought-provoking account will be of interest to scholars, students, and professionals across a range of disciplines. The book's focus on the style of reasoning dominant in psychoanalysis and related fields makes it a valuable resource for anyone looking to understand how to think critically about complex issues.
