Abstract
The aim of the paper “Interpretation and Construction in Psychoanalysis” is to contribute to the clarification of two modes of intervention in the process of psychoanalysis, which have given rise to multiple misunderstandings.
We critically examine the different perspectives from which authors have developed their contributions to this issue, as well as the ways in which interpretation and construction are related to other psychoanalytic concepts such as transference, working-through, repetition, resistance, fantasy, and others.
The methodology employed made it possible to articulate theoretical conceptualizations with clinical practice.
Different positions concerning interpretation were reviewed, with particular emphasis on the contributions of Freud and Lacan as the most accurate for situating the time and occasion of interpretation.
The results obtained make it possible to situate interpretation and construction as linked to the position of the analyst in transference and governed by the “desire of the analyst”, an important concept that we owe to J. Lacan.
In conclusion, rather than instruments, interpretation and construction are privileged modes of analytic intervention for situating the unconscious and for orienting both the therapeutic effects and the traversal of the analysand’s fantasy.
