 Grünbaum accordingly holds that Freudian theory should be considered falsifiable and therefore genuinely scientific—albeit, in his view, ultimately unsuccessful, because the clinical evidence offered in its favour is contaminated by suggestion on the part of the analyst and cannot therefore support its conceptual weight. That is a verdict very different to what Grünbaum sees as the reductive dismissal of Freud offered by Popper: “the inability of certain philosophers of science to have discerned any testable consequences of Freud’s theory”, he concludes, “betokens their insufficient command or scrutiny of its logical content rather than a scientific liability of psychoanalysis” (1984: 113).
