ABSTRACT. This paper shows a
microanalysis of episodes of therapeutic
change and ruptures of the alliance using Dialogic
Discourse Analysis as a method that makes
it possible to detect
discursive strategies in psychotherapeutic dialogue.
Four relevant episodes, two of therapeutic
change and two of ruptures of the
alliance, from different sessions of a long-term
psychoanalytic psychotherapy
were analyzed using a qualitative methodology.
Results showed linguistic
features of change and rupture. In the latter,
linguistic markers were
identified, which highlighted the connection
between the rupture of the
alliance, its resolution, and change. The use
and advantages of this
microanalytic method are discussed. Keywords: Dialogic discourse analysis,
microanalysis, psychotherapy process research |
