(medpagetoday.com): The top three psychoanalytic journals are short on original research on psychoanalysis, researchers have said. Combined, the journals produced fewer than 10 original research articles annually over a seven-year period. Calls for rigorous psychoanalytic research studies have become more common in the past decade, as an increasing number of analysts have committed to demonstrating the validity and efficacy of what they do. But the debate also goes to the heart of the discipline itself. Critics argue that because psychoanalysis attempts to explain everything, it's not falsifiable and can't state a null hypothesis; thus it's not a proper science.
