证伪主义视域下的精神分析心理学研究——评判无意识理论的可证伪性

A Study of Psychoanalytic Psychology from the Perspective of Falsification—Evaluating the Falsifiability of Unconscious Theory

弗洛伊德从医疗实践出发,寻找精神病理的心理原因,通过“自由联想法”开创了精神分析学说。进而于1916年发表《精神分析引论》将该心理学说运用到更广泛的人文科学领域之中,用无意识、性本能等理论阐释人类世界出现的各种现象,使其具有更广泛的哲学意义解释社会和文明问题。波普尔作为批判理性主义者,改写了自启蒙传统下的科学观与真理观,开创了科学哲学发展的新历程。提出证伪主义思想、科学发展的模式以及“科学”不等于“真理”的真理观,是对哲学与科学方法的一个巨大贡献。因精神分析学派所涉人物与学理浩瀚无垠,故本文仅解析精神分析心理学开山祖师——弗洛伊德及其相关理论。本文旨在以证伪主义为基础,评估精神分析学中的无意识理论的可证伪性,通过对现有研究、案例分析和相关临床实践进行批判性审查,探讨无意识理论的主要假设,并提出一些具有挑战性的问题。结果表明,虽然无意识理论在精神分析学领域具有广泛的应用和影响力,但其可证伪性存在一定的困难和限制。

Starting from medical practice, Freud searched for the psychological causes of mental pathology and created the theory of psychoanalysis through the “free association method”. Furthermore, in 1916, the “Introduction to Psychoanalysis” was published, applying this psychological theory to a wider field of humanities, using theories such as unconsciousness and sexual instinct to explain various phenomena that occur in the human world, giving it a broader philosophical significance to explain social and civilization issues. Popper, as a critical rationalist, rewritten the scientific and truth views of the self enlightenment tradition, and initiated a new process of the development of scientific phi-losophy. The proposal of falsificationism, the model of scientific development, and the truth view that “science” does not equal “truth” is a huge contribution to philosophy and scientific methods. Due to the vast range of characters and theories involved in the psychoanalytic school, this article only analyzes Freud, the founder of psychoanalytic psychology, and his related theories. This article aims to evaluate the falsifiability of unconscious theory in psychoanalysis based on falsificationism. By critically reviewing existing research, case studies, and relevant clinical practices, it explores the main assumptions of unconscious theory and raises some challenging questions. The results indi-cate that although the unconscious theory has extensive application and influence in the field of psychoanalysis, its falsifiability faces certain difficulties and limitations.
