“Interpretation is not a statement designed to provide verbal symbolization for repressed ucs conflict in an effort to make the ucs cs. Rather, it’s a way of telling the pt a portion of what the analyst is thinking in a form that the pt may be able to use in thinking his own thoughts” Ogden

They mean people like me. I'm not supposed to be here. I was always only meant to be a patient. GVD: Yeahhh
