The present study investigates in which way classical psychoanalytic technique positions interpretation. Some of the points of the theory, the practice and, in particular, the technique of Sigmund Freud and Donald W. Winnicott are examined herein. An attempt was deemed necessary to define interpretation - given its complexity and amplitude within the psychoanalytic theory and practice. We also provide some of the reasons which have led to the priority granted to this instrument within the classical psychoanalytic technique. We have also attempted to demonstrate in which way interpretation primarily leads to the Oedipus complex within both the theory and the practice of psychoanalysis. Some of the consequences of it on the process of subjectivation of the individual are also considered herein. We allude to the relevant ideas of Sándor Ferenczi, Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, trying to pinpoint in which way their thoughts as well as innovative contributions approximate or drift away from the Freudian and the Winnicottian theories. As far as the psychoanalytic technique is concerned, some new paths also arise from those thoughts.
