Abstract

The author reviewed many aspects of interpretative intervention in doing psychoanalytic treatment in this article. He also examined clinical examples which showed important points in doing interpretations during analytic sessions. The following nine points are the summary of the contents of this article：First, to have patients staying in the transference feelings with the patient could be more important than to give transference interpretation including genetic interpretation to the patient. Second, to give an interpretation which is near the patient’s awareness could be more effective than to give an interpretation which is deeper in patient’s unconscious sexual and aggressive drives. Third, the interpretation could be done by both patient and analyst and it might be wrong to say that interpretations could be done by the analyst exclusively. Fourth, anxiety provoking interpretations could be more effective than anxiety relieving interpretations. Fifth, the interpretation of contents of unconscious mind could be done simultaneously with the interpretation of defenses of unconscious mind. Sixth, it is important to have the patient know that any of the unconscious materials is over determined not determined by one factor, but at the same time it would not be effective for the patient to understand unconscious meanings if analyst gave the patients multiple meanings at the same time. Seventh, through the process of interpretations, it is important to understand both cognitions and emotions of the patients. Eighth, it might not be important for analysts to make an effort to give always the right interpretations because interpretation is thought to give the patients tools of understanding the patient’s unconsciousness not the patient’s unconscious contents of being understood. Ninth, in order to interpret the relationship between the patient and analysts, it might be important for the analyst to use not only the patient’s free associations but also the psychoanalyst’s free floating attention because free floating attention could be thought of as an unconscious desire of the patient to get responses from the psychoanalyst.
