Interpretation is an action that results in an understandable explanation. Analysts, psychotherapists, and psychiatrists try to translate messages that patients express (such as dreams, fantasies, and various visions). The expression in a symbolic language is reflected and transmitted by images that are to be translated into an accessible form.
We can say that interpretation is a process of interpretation and clarification of the meaning of something obscure or difficult for anyone to understand. For example, the patient wants to know how he should relate to the symbolic content. He does not know the terminology and cannot be expected from him that he will follow the theoretical path proposed by the therapist. The physician must interpret the material psychologically in order to analyze the archetypal and mental states of a person.
In a broad sense, interpretation is an explanation of the hidden and obscure meaning for the patient. However, if he moves too actively and quickly into the depths of his interpretation, there is a possible danger of neglecting the potential involvement of the individual in his own process. If the patient is impressed by the deep emotional state of the archetypal figures, experience or knowledge of the psychotherapist, for him involuntarily there is an awareness and explanation of the unconscious contents, in connection with which he does not take them seriously and is not able to combine them.
Interpretation is a set of meanings that are given to one or another way of expression, elements, symbols, formulas, etc. When the constituent elements of the theory themselves are subject to reflection, then they consider the interpretation of formulas, symbols, etc. This variety is used in mathematics, theory of knowledge, logic, methodology of science.
The meaning of the word interpretation has a great epistemological meaning. It influences the comparison of scientific theories in which they describe areas or different ways of constructing these theories, and characterizes changes in the relationships between them in the process of development of knowledge. Due to the fact that each natural science theory is constructed and conceived to describe reality in some areas, this reality will be a natural interpretation of this theory. The meaning of the word interpretation in this case is “implied” and is not the only one for use in substantive classical mathematical and physical theories.
For example, the fact of isomorphism of electrical and mechanical oscillatory systems is described by the same differential equations and reduces to the fact that these equations can have at least two different interpretations.
In abstract-deductive logical-mathematical theories, such an interpretation admits, in addition to isomorphic, various non-isomorphic interpretations. It is difficult to imagine their “natural” interpretations, since they can do without translating their concepts into the “physical language”. For example, whatever the physical interpretation of the Lobachevsky geometry, it will find an interpretation in Euclidean geometry. Mutual explanation of various deductive theories played a large role in the development of these sciences.
Research, interpretation and interpretation of dreams belongs to the field of social psychoanalysis. It allows you to expand the representation of the sphere of unconscious perception, located in the roots of mass consciousness. In the dream itself lies a huge potential. This condition is similar to meditation and hypnosis, it opens up access to the hidden reserves of the human psyche. Interpretation of dreams is a difficult method, therefore, the help of a consultant is supposed to recognize and decipher the meaning of sleep. It should be borne in mind that the human consciousness is actively protected from unpleasant information.
