What is a fact? Eva Rosenfeld and historiography

Author:Roazen, P

Article Title:What is a fact? Eva Rosenfeld and historiography

Abstract:
Historians have disputed excessive speculative claims made on behalf of psychoanalytic interpretations. As psychoanalytic theory evolved, theorists sought to communicate the higher aspects of ego functioning which adapt our inner world to outer realities. Roazen's article discusses the question of what is a fact within the context of the history of analysis. He does this through the examples of Eva Rosenfeld's correspondences which explore the nature of historiography itself.
