Psychoanalytic Aspects of Construction and Deconstruction in Psychoanalysis

In the graduation qualifying work the aspects of construction, interpretation and deconstruction in psychoanalysis have been considered, the study reflects an evolution of views and psychoanalytic theories from the works of the founder of psychoanalysis Z. Freud to the modern authors’ studies. The theoretical part of work presents the definition of construction and its main functions in analysis, including such functions as putting in order of the representative material, fantasy development and a kind of interpretation. The part of work devoted to interpretation provides a classification of interpretation styles, as well as describes its types and attempts to distinguish between the concepts of construction and interpretation. The work provides a theoretical and clinical definition of the deconstruction in analysis, and clearly distinguishes between spontaneous and crisis deconstructions, as well as deconstructions of narcissistically invested configurations. The thesis considers the clinical features of analytic psychodrama and symbolization work in the treatment of cases where mental registers fall out of the field of verbal language. The empirical part of work describes and analyses clinical cases from the therapeutic practice of the well-known psychoanalysts.
