Psychoanalysis as a theory has permeated Western culture in a way that often no longer is conscious. Psychoanalysis as a practice has had a more visible and stormy progress. A similar fate has befallen behavioural, biological, cognitive and social psychology, and it is argued that the attractiveness of reductionism acts to prevent critical appraisal of psychoanalysis and of the other paradigms.
