REFLECTIONS ABOUT SOME ELEMENTS OF THE INTERPRETATIVE WORK IN FREUD

This paper explores some consequences about interpretation, derived from the clinical work that Freud carried out with patients with the intention of introducing them to the analytical device and make interpretation effective. Through the journey of his work, decisive moments are extracted that locate interpretation as a dismantling and revelation tool of repression, which are supported by the formulations of emblematic post-Freudian authors. For this reason, Freud would use well differentiated elements: 1) Rely on the position of the patient in order to enable a transferential phenomenon that allows the psychoanalytical work. 2) Introduce the patient to the analytical device, establish a frame. 3) Raise conviction of the existence of the unconscious in the patient. 4) Support the asymmetry of the analytical relation. The interpretation work pretends to clarify the relation between certain psychic phenomena and acts/symptoms that live in the patient. It would be pursued to shake the patient from the position in which he or she has been located until this moment, a position that keeps him or her in conflict and sustaining the symptomatology. Some post-Freudian authors would try to support the particular importance of subsection four, the asymmetry in the analytical relation. This posture would seek the disagreement with the patient, motivating a change in the psychic position inhabited so far.
