The book is an empirical study of naturally occurring talk between
psychotherapist and clients experiencing various anxieties and
traumas that most of us recognize and can relate to. By relying on
contemporary theories about sequential, situated discourse as well
as drawing on "praxis" literature, it aims to investigate how
psychotherapy as practice is contextually and interactionally
accomplished. By scrutinizing patterns of language use, which
reflect the core norms of the speech event of psychotherapy, it
offers a unique look into the therapeutic dialogue at the micro
level. The book presents a host of practical guidelines as to how
to conduct ethnographic fieldwork at the (inter)professional
research site in order to produce practically relevant findings. It
also addresses the infiltration of therapeutic norms and strategies
into new social contexts. Talk as Therapy is about disclosing one's
(usually) dysphoric experiences, clarifying and exploring them in
the interactional here-and-now as well as focusing on their
emotional aspects in the safety of the relationship with the
therapist.
