Increasingly, people are becoming aware of the importance of rules with regard to the establishment of human behaviour. The present-day philosophy of action, following Wittgenstein, talks of rule following behaviour. This book takes up the discussion and indicates the importance of rules in Freudian psychoanalysis as a form of treatment and as a theory of human development. In so doing, the book intends to establish a link between Freud and Wittgenstein and make a contribution to the philosophy of psychoanalysis.
