Interpretive action is understood as the analyst's use of action (other than verbally symbolic speech) to convey to the analysand specific aspects of the analyst's understanding of the transference-countertransference which cannot at that juncture in the analysis be conveyed by the semantic content of words alone. An interpretation-in-action accrues its specific symbolic meaning from the experiential context of the analytic intersubjectivity in which it is generated. The understanding of the transference-counter-transference conveyed by the analyst's interpretive action must simultaneously be silently formulated in words by the analyst. Three clinical vignettes are presented which illustrate different forms of interpretation-in-action
Action (physics) · Cognitive science · Context (archaeology) · Countertransference · Epistemology · Experiential learning · Interpretation (philosophy) · Intersubjectivity · Linguistics · Meaning (existential) · Pedagogy · Psychotherapist · Philosophy · Psychology · Psychotherapy Techniques and Applications
