ABSTRACT

Mills’ critique of relational psychoanalysis is pivotal in reintroducing issues of truth into psychoanalytic theory, but does not allow us the full benefit of the many insightful criticisms of traditional psychoanalytic claims. A way forward may be found by admitting multiple epistemologies into analytic discourse and unveiling the domains within which each epistemology may allow us to determine whether a statement or a belief is true or false.
