There is a common ground for psychoanalytic technique and we should not in a \"politically correct\" manner, as is so popular today, abandon the philosophical or Platonic foundationalism that lies at the basis of Freud's psychoanalytic practices. Although it is a \"politically incorrect\" view, a reasonable degree of objectivity and scientific validity is attainable by the relatively neutral psychoanalyst, using both natural science observations as well as introspection and hermeneutics. Furthermore, since psychoanalysis is fundamentally a creative activity, the roots of creativity require exploration and careful study.

In recent years EBM has become linked with appropriate but also inappropriate efforts at cost containment. Organized psychiatry responded by developing evidence-based practice guidelines and launching a range of clinical research initiatives to determine the effectiveness and efficacy of current psychiatric practices. Psychoanalysis is particularly challenged because it has for most of the 20th century been based on conviction alone. Investigators have now identified the obstacles to research into psychoanalysis and dynamic psychotherapy and are developing techniques to overcome these and to study not only outcomes but also the internal processes of these treatment modalities.
