/ Psychoanalytical theory
English term or phrase: wrongheaded (in context)
But we are making a more serious and radical claim, namely that the whole conception of psychoanalysis as technique is wrongheaded -to borrow an epithet popular among philosophers- and needs to be rethought. Even in the so-called two-person psychologies, it relies on an assumption that one Cartesian isolated mind, the analyst, is doing something to another isolated mind, the patient, or vice versa.

¿ALGUIEN SABE CUÁL ES LA PALABRA QUE USAN LOS FILÓSOFOS DE HABLA HISPANA EN LUGAR DE "TERCO" U "OBSTINADO"?
¡GRACIAS!

Explanation:
In case you'd still could use another term. Myself, I'd reserve "mal concebida" for "ill conceived".
