'I do not know of any other books that approach the problem of the unconscious from a phenomenological epistemological perspective. This book fills an intellectual gap, is highly original and very persuasive.' Jo Nash, University of Sheffield
'What [Karlsson] does across eight short chapters is to define and trace phenomenological philosophy's approach to understanding the human and then apply that understanding to psychoanalysis, using both Freud's writings and other analysts' interpretations of Freud's work. In the end, [he] both clarifies and complicates psychoanalysis, offering up an interpretation that somehow manages to be true to Freud's ideas while also offering a new view on an old subject.'

'Karlsson's book redefines the significance and purpose of psychoanalysis from a phenomenological perspective that conceives of psychoanalysis as a science (searching for truth) and 'not merely as a method of treatment' ... This project is clearly executed with helpful chapter summaries along the way. Overall, it casts a powerful phenomenological searchlight upon the couch, levering the intelligibility of psychoanalytic theory off from dependence on its own empirical moment ...' Sara Beardsworth, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
