Psychoanalysis and evaluation: a stratified model focused on the uniqueness of the case

Psychanalyse et évaluation : un modèle stratifié centré sur l'unicité du cas

Résumé

Objectives This article addresses the methodological controversies surrounding the issue of how to evaluate the psychotherapies. It proposes to identify the principles of an integrative and stratified model in order to report the results of analytical therapy (its efficacy) based on the very effectiveness of its processes. Thus, the uniqueness of the case is put at the center of the evaluation setting. Methods Drawing on science studies, the authors engage in a reflexive exercise on the problem of psychoanalysis' evaluation based on methodological questions raised in the field over time and current issues related to practice. Results First, the regularly asserted opposition between the norms of analytical practice and those governing standard evaluation procedures is reinterpreted as the effect of a lack of intermediate epistemic patterns. Second, the fundamental principles of an integrative model are considered so as to translate and articulate a set of heterogeneous requirements into distinct strata. Discussion Since psychoanalysis is fundamentally a case-by-case practice characterized by inequivalence and unexpectedness, its utmost aim is to use a type of effectiveness based on the singularity of the case. However, this does not prevent it from being evaluable provided that the epistemic levels of the evaluation are clearly differentiated.
