In psychodynamic psychotherapy, working through is seen as the process of repeating, elaborating, and amplifying interpretations. It is believed that such working through is critical towards the success of therapy. The concept was introduced by Sigmund Freud in 1914,〔Sigmund Freud, ''On Metapsychology'' (PFL 11) p. 288〕 and assumed ever greater importance in psychoanalysis, in contrast to the immediacy of abreaction.〔Otto Fenichel, ''The Psychoanalytic Theory of Neurosis'' (1946) p. 572〕 ==Interpretation and resistance== Interpretations are made when the client comes up with some material, be it written, a piece of art, music, or verbal, and are intended to bring the material offered into connection with the unconscious mind. Because of the resistance to accepting the unconscious, interpretations, whether correct or partially incorrect, consciously accepted or rejected, will inevitably require amplifying and extending to other aspects of the client's life.〔Joseph J. Sandler et al, ''Technique of Child Analysis'' (1986) p. 182〕 In a process Sandor Rado compared to the labour of mourning, the unconscious content must be demonstrated repeatedly in all its various forms and linkages - the process of working through.〔Fenichel, p. 572-3〕 Because of the power of resistance,〔Sigmund Freud, ''On Psychopathology'' (PFL 10) p. 318-9〕 the client's rational thought and conscious awareness may not be sufficient on their own to overcome the maladjustment, entailing further interpretation and further working through.〔Sandler, p. 183〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Working through」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
