abstract = {It has been argued that psychoanalytic and biological
theories cannot be integrated because they rely on different
epistemological grounds, namely on hermeneutic versus causal
explanations, that are inconsistent with each other. Such
inconsistency would seriously question the general
possibility of neuropsychoanalytic research. Here, I review
three important arguments that have been raised in favor of
this inconsistency: first, that psychoanalytic attempts to
overcome repression aim to go beyond causal relationships;
second, that hermeneutic explanations are retrospective and
context-dependent and therefore follow a different logic
than causal explanations; and third, that only causal
hypotheses are falsifiable, while the introspective reasons
for one's own behavior are not. I present arguments against
each of these statements and show that actually, causal and
hermeneutic explanations are, at least in principle,
consistent with each other. The challenge for
neuropsychoanalytic research remains to find indeed
empirical examples of theories which are causal and
hermeneutic at the same time.},
