Interpretation and working through.
Abstract
The function of insight is independent of content. Insight is the result of the assignment of meaning as distinct from finding meaning. Interpretation leads to insight which binds anxiety and lifts repression, thus providing relief of symptoms. Working is learning to apply the assigned meaning to new situations.
