  • Title: Three forms of meaning and their psychoanalytic significance.
    Author: Goldberg A.
    Journal: J Am Psychoanal Assoc; 1997; 45(2):491-506. PubMed ID: 9243452.
    Abstract:
    The existence of three distinct forms of meaning--unearthed, reshaped, and improvised--is claimed to be a part of every analysis. These forms are defined and distinguished from one another. Each is presented as conforming to a certain set to psychological needs in the patient and so as having no overall or general significance as to its propriety vis-à-vis the others. As a group these meanings necessarily alter the concept of neutrality, rendering it relative to the individual patient.
