Annotation to the final qualifying work. Topic: "Interpretations in Psychoanalysis" The volume of qualifying work is 81 pages. When writing the work, 28 sources were used. Key words: interpretation, psychoanalytic experience, intervention The object of research when writing a work is psychoanalytic interpretation. The subject of this research is the effects of interpretations in psychoanalytic therapy. The thesis includes an introduction, four chapters, a list of references, a final conclusion. The relevance of the work lies in the study of the importance of non-verbal factors in interpersonal communication, which unites the patient and his analyst. The introduction reveals the relevance of the study of interpretive activity inseparable from the position of understanding. For any discussion of interpretations casts doubt on the value of language and communication in psychoanalytic therapy. The definition of psychoanalytic interpretation is given. In the first chapter, devoted to reconstruction and "memory", the problems of using interpretations in psychoanalysis are investigated, the question is considered: is interpretation a reconstruction of the past or is it anti-historical? The main functions of the interpreter are considered, the main forms of intervention are described. Chapter two examines the technique of interpretation in psychoanalysis, the benefits and ineffectiveness of interpretations. The effects of interpretation in structural changes of self are investigated. Chapter three examines the personal style of interpretation, the psychoanalyst's ability to be at the crossroads of formulating interpretations In chapter four, interpretations in the Klein technique are considered. It describes two approaches to the concept of "interpretation" from the point of view of the Kleinian perspective, which argues that interpretation tends to fix the past, while interpretive strategic Freudian activity is aimed at perpetuating the memory of that past. The Conclusion focuses on the main findings and suggestions. Psychoanalytic re-creation is especially effective within this particular experience. Freud successfully reconstructed the psychosexual evolution of the child, drawing on the research of adult neurotics. But his findings and psychoanalytic studies of adults and children must henceforth be juxtaposed and enriched by longitudinal developmental studies for which psychoanalysts seem to be specially trained in many respects. The longest interpretation is not necessarily the most reconstructive, and therefore the one that evokes the most active memory.
