“…He needed and sought a parental figure who would have confidence in him. In Kohut's terms, as explained in Oppenheimer (2000), he was lacking a "Self-Object", i.e. an external figure (who should become internalised in the future) who could help him to develop a healthy sense of "self".…”

This study deals with Josh, a five-year-old Israeli child, within the Ultra-Orthodox community. Josh (pseudonym), was referred for music therapy for his non-age-compatible development and difficulties with emotional self-regulation. Josh’s emotional-behavioural expressions were experienced as contradictory to Ultra-Orthodox socio-cultural conventions. Both Josh’s family and community were reluctant to contain his difficulties. As a non-Ultra-Orthodox music therapist, the intercultural therapeutic process brought to light essential questions about my role in treating Josh. One such question was whether to help Josh reveal his genuine colourful character, contrary to conventions of his community or alternatively, help him cope with the demands of his conservative rigid community? During the therapeutic process, Josh’s mother expressed difficulty in accepting his character, which I experienced as indicating a form of rejection. This experience appeared to leave Josh fearful of being abandoned by his mother and wishing for an attachment with someone who would understand and accept him. During sessions we played, improvised, sang and created an experience of togetherness. Subsequently, Josh felt himself at ease to express his colourful character. Thus, the child who began with an immature self- expression developed coherent regulated self-expression through voice, recordings, improvisations and communicative musicality. Therapeutic engagement that did not seek to “fix” him, but rather to contain and accept him, led Josh to adopt more effective behavioural, communicative, and emotional strategies that helped him to obtain emotional regulation. In conclusion, Josh became a child who managed to contain the intricacy of preserving his vivid character as well as accepting the Ultra-Orthodox community’s conservative social conventions.

“…According to Bion (1962), analysts use their thinking function to help patients transform emotional experiences into thoughts and become a container for their externalized unacceptable parts (Bion, 1967). In contrast to much of the above, Kohut (1984) argued that empathic interpretations encourage patients to live more harmoniously with their characterizing selfexperiences, and stressed the need for therapists to first convey empathic understanding and only then offer a new explanation (Oppenheimer, 2000).…”

Interpretation is the doyen of therapeutic techniques and has received some of the greatest theoretical and clinical attention. Nevertheless, to date, no meta-analysis has examined its effect on psychotherapy outcome. In the present systematic review and meta-analysis, we examined the association between interpretations and psychotherapy outcome. The meta-analysis was preregistered in PROSPERO. From 13,195 initially identified abstracts, we extracted 16 independent effect sizes from a total of 897 patients. Findings suggest a medium effect size (r = −.23, p = .002), indicating that the use of interpretations is associated with better outcome. This association remains consistent across types of interpretation measures, assessor perspectives, study quality, and number of sessions. Sensitivity analyses demonstrated the robustness of the results.
