Book synopsis

This book addresses the premise that therapy can be understood, practiced, and researched as a discursive activity. Using varied forms of discourse analysis, the authors examine cultural, institutional, and face-to-face communications that shape, and occur within, therapy that is discursively understood and practiced. Following an overview of commonalities across discursive therapies and research approaches, general aspects of therapy are examined discursively: subjectivity, psychological terms, institutional influences, therapeutic relationships, therapists' ways of talking and questioning, discursive ethics, and assessing therapeutic processes and outcomes. The conversational practices of a discursively informed approach to therapy are also macro-analyzed and micro-analyzed for how language shapes and is used in a discursively informed approach to therapy.
