Psychoanalytic theories are based on fundam ental hypotheses and basic assumptions that have b een arrived at through a mixture of clinical exper ience and self-reflection\, speculative intellectu al activity and intuition\, free-floating attentio n and deduction\, and the attribution of retrospec tive meaning and abstract representations.\n \n Ps ychoanalysis does not offer a single\, uniļ¬ed\, comprehensive theoretical model\, nor can it propo se an exclusive clinical approach to its object of study. The question of research is confronted by the complex nature of the object of analytic inqui ry\, reiterating the inappropriateness of any sing le paradigm. In considering research in psychoanal ysis\, ontological questions are as relevant as ep istemological ones.\n \n The establishment of a pa rticular and unique dialogue between patient and a nalyst characterises the psychoanalytic discipline . Clinical practitioners are accountable for what they do. In order to define the boundaries and aim s of their work\, psychoanalysts describe their th eoretical ideas and clinical approaches through th e study of single cases. \;\n \n \n \n \n Greg orio Kohon is a Clinical Psychologist and Distingu ished Fellow of the British Psychoanalytic Society .
