Synopsis
Consider a poem as the literary critic reads it; consider the language of an analysand as the psychoanalyst hears it. The tasks of the professionals are similar: to interpret the linguistic, symbolic data at hand. In Language and Interpretation in Psychoanalysis, Marshall Edelson explores the linguistics of Chomsky, showing the congruence between Chomsky and Freud, and comparing linguistic interpretations in the psychoanalytic situation with interpretations of a Bach prelude and Wallace Stevens's poem "The Snow Man".

Condition: Gut. XV; 243 S.; 8°. Gutes Ex. - INHALT : Preface Introduction - PART ONE: PROLEGOMENA TO A THEORY OF INTERPRETATION - The Psychoanalyst Listens - The Distinguishing Characteristics of Interpretation - Interpretation and Explanation in Psychoanalysis - Implications, Hypotheses, and Questions - PART TWO: PSYCHOANALYSIS AND LANGUAGE - Interpretation and Linguistic Competence - The Meanings of "Meaning" - The Interpretation of Transformation - The Interpretation of Deviance - PART THREE: THREE INTERPRETATIONS OF A POEM AS A LINGUISTIC OBJECT - Psychoanalysis and Literature - The Syntax of "The Snow Man": Reconstructing Deep from Surface Structures - The Sense of "The Snow Man": Deviance and Ambiguity - The Sound of "The Snow Man": Meanings in the Music of Language - Bibliography. // Dr. Edelson shows how Freud's and Chomsky's theories are congruent; language, as understood by Chomsky, and music are similar symbolic systems; and interpretations of poetry, music, and the analysand's utterances are significantly alike. He compares interpretations in the psychoanalytic situation with interpretations of a Bach prelude and of Wallace Stevens' poem "The Snow Man." Interpretations of Stevens' poem-focusing in turn on syntax, sense, and sound-demonstrate the many kinds of meanings and uses language may have, and the subtlety and scope of the categories and distinctions required to analyze linguistic events. A theory of psychoanalytic interpretation based on a sophisticated theory of language, then, can cope with the incredible complexity of psychoanalytic data and interpretative acts.
