THE ROLE OF PSYCHOANALYTICAL INTERPRETATION DURING THE PROCESS OF PERSONALITY SELF-ACTUALISATION

Abstract

The degree of representativeness of the concepts "interpretation", "psychoanalytic interpretation", "self-actualization" in the scientific literature was revealed and their theoretical generalization was carried out. The essence of these phenomena in the variability of scientific approaches was clarified. The results of a comparative analysis of the role of interpretation in psychological assistance to the subject in various psychological paradigms and, accordingly, the vision of the ultimate goal of psychological assistance in each of them are presented. The peculiarities of promoting personal growth, self-correction, self-development and self-actualization with the help of interpretation were researched. The author of the article emphasizes that the unconscious content of the psyche can be revealed only with the help of metaphorical, contextual, mediated means of cognition in the dialogic psychocorrective process. The author of the article emphasizes that the unconscious content of psychics can be revealed only with the help of metaphorical, contextual, mediated means of cognition in the dialogic psychocorrective process. It is emphasized that the deep-psychological content of the unconscious is masked from consciousness through the action of the following mechanisms of symbolization: condensation, displacement, hyperbolization, minimization, masking by quantity, hint, from the opposite (inverse opposite) and others. In the future, this content will be presented to the subject through interpretation, using its form that is appropriate at the current moment "here and now", if the subject is ready to accept and understand it. It was established that cognition through the interpretation of the causal prerequisites of the subject's personal problem through the expansion of self-awareness contributes to prosocial orientation, optimal behavior and self-actualization of the individual.
