ABSTRACT

In this article, the relevance of conversation analysis for the study of psychotherapy is considered. A review of the historical trajectory in search for the determining factors of therapeutic effectiveness is presented, the achievements and limitations of this project are considered. Although research on effectiveness has yielded important data, it presents a major disadvantage: it does not offer a detailed understanding of the therapeutic process as it occurs in practice situations. It is proposed that conversation analyisis offers an alternative path for inquiry from a naturalistic, rigorous and systematic perspective, taking into account the complexity of the interaction between therapist and patient. Conversation analysis deals with the production of meaning from a perspective centered on language use, where each speaking turn represents a form of social action. The theoretical principles of this methodology are described. A blueprint of the ways in which it can provide a detailed understanding of therapeutic processes is presented, one of the main contributions of conversation analysis is that in can illuminate aspects of practice not considered by the theoretical frameworks of therapists.
