ABSTRACT
Making connections between depth psychology and modern, scientific psychology has been one of the main ways of attempting to bolster the validity of depth psychology. Likewise, combining psychoanalysis with modern infant research has become a potent means of corroborating analyses of childhood and early infancy (i.e., both an adult’s images of childhood and the actual mother-infant relationship). In contrast, the recent deconstruction of modern psychology and the further exploration of postmodern, post-scientific psychology have shed light on the hermeneutic value of depth psychology.
