Insight is an important notion in psychoanalysis, as it is regarded as the main mediator of psychic change in therapy. In this article I provide an account of a specific kind of insight, which I call self-insight. Self-insight is that which lies at the roots of what Bell and Leite (Bell, D., and A. Leite. 2016. "Experiential self-understanding." 97 (2): 305-332) describe as experiential self-understanding, a process of increasing articulate awareness of one's psychic life. So conceived, self-insight has four key characteristics: (1) it is distinct from merely intellectual self-knowledge, (2) it arises directly out of first-person experience, (3) it encompasses a lived perspective, and (4) it often requires the overcoming of resistance. My account of self-insight makes use of the notion of construal, a mental state that is constitutive of emotion and plays an important role in motivation. Specifically, I propose that one gains self-insight when one becomes insightfully conscious of a previously unconscious construal, which involves construing one's construal as the construal it is. This account of self-insight shows how it exhibits the key characteristics described above.
领悟是精神分析中的一个重要概念，因为它被视为治疗中心理改变的主要中介因素。在本文中，我阐述了一种特定类型的领悟，我称之为自我领悟。自我领悟是贝尔和莱特（贝尔，D.，以及A. 莱特。2016年。“体验式自我理解”。《国际精神分析杂志》97 (2): 305 - 332）所描述的体验式自我理解的根源，这是一个对自己心理生活的清晰认知不断增加的过程。如此构想的自我领悟有四个关键特征：（1）它不同于仅仅是理智上的自我认知；（2）它直接源于第一人称体验；（3）它包含一种生活视角；（4）它常常需要克服阻力。我对自我领悟的阐述运用了阐释这一概念，阐释是一种构成情感且在动机中起重要作用的心理状态。具体而言，我提出当一个人洞察到一个先前无意识的阐释时，就获得了自我领悟，这涉及将自己的阐释理解为其实际所是的阐释。这种对自我领悟的阐述展示了它如何呈现上述关键特征。
