“…They necessarily grasp both meanings of this bipolarity at the same time insofar as they really learn either side of the opposed meanings. They also can learn to link an antonym to a word (e.g., approve linked to reject) as readily as a synonym (e.g., decline linked to reject; Rychlak, Barnard, Williams, & Wollman, 1989). This line of empirical research also proved that people rely on oppositionality in their learning as often as they rely on nonoppositionality.…”

My intentions are twofold in this autobiographical account. On one hand, I hope to present empirical and theoretical evidence for a freely willing human being. On the other, I carefully record the developing stages I lived through to cement my confidence in the image of humanity I would like my readers to accept. I have, in my career development, worked hard to redefine psychological terminology, defend traditional scientific practices, and provide support for all those colleagues who can no longer stand the mechanistic characterization that so many psychology departments insist on. I have spent over 40 years pursuing such goals. It is not likely that I will ever give up my quest for what I take to be a genuine humanity.

“…(See Rychlak, 1988, chap. 2 for an extensive discussion of the history of dialectic notions in philosophy.) Empirical research by Rychlak and his colleagues has supported the idea that dialectical thinking is a fundamental human capacity (Rychlak, Barnard, Williams, & Wollman, 1989;Rychlak & Williams, 1984;Rychlak, Williams, & Bugaj, 1986).…”

Many scholars who are interested in psychoanalytic theory would agree that for a number of reasons psychoanalysis is currently a "theory in crisis," as Edelson (1988) recently noted. One aspect of this crisis centers around the clash of opinions as to whether as a body of theory and practice psychoanalysis is amenable to scientific validation in the traditional sense or whether it is primarily a hermeneutic enterprise and hence more akin to such humanities disciplines as literary criticism and history. If the latter were so, psychoanalysis would presumably be outside the domain of natural-science inquiry. I believe that this controversy stems in part from a lack of clarity about some underlying philosophical issues which are not sufficiently articulated in this disagreement. Illuminating these issues might help to bring closer what seem to be quite disparate positions. In this article I propose that one broadly conceived humanistic approach to psychology (Rychlak, 1988) provides a set of conceptual tools for such a resolution.Requests for reprints should be sent to Adelbert H.
