ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the philosopical issues into the clinical reality of psychotherapy by sketching how repression and becoming conscious of the repressed should be seen in the post-Wittgensteinian frames of thinking. In the era of rapidly developing brain-research, psychoanalysis appears to many people in the spirit of Sigmund Freud’s project as a proto-natural science. When explaining the phenomenon of enlargening self-consciousness/becoming conscious of the repressed, Freud drew the crucial line between the unconscious and consciousness. Ludwig Wittgenstein was able to create two times a fresh new perspective on the world, and he was responsible for bringing language to the centre of philosophy. Wittgenstein’s works gave rise to different kinds of relativism and narrative approaches. Even the critics of these approaches have to admit that in the post-Wittgensteinian era the question concerning the relations between distinct scientific paradigms is very complicated.
