Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
This proseminar provides a ‘hands-on’ approach to examining therapeutic communication. This means that, in each class, a certain percentage of time will be devoted to analyzing actual transcripts and video-recordings of therapy. The aims of this course are:
to provide a general overview of different approaches to therapy and to show that therapeutic communication may be realized in other helping professions;
to provide students with the requisite skills to analyze therapeutic communication using conversation analytic methods;
to impart knowledge on how to transcribe relevant audio and video segments of therapeutic interaction;
to enable students to identify clinically relevant therapeutic episodes;
to enable students in making relevant links between psychotherapeutic constructs and actual therapeutic practices

This course will explore links between conversation analysis and clinically-oriented conceptualizations of therapeutic processes. A main focus of the seminars will be to carefully explore therapist-client interactions by paying close attention to the way that they use language to achieve certain aims. Consideration will also be given to the therapist’s own theory-driven views of what is happening in the therapy session and how that compares and contrasts with the therapist’s actual talk. An examination of talk-in-therapy can thus provide new perspectives on how therapy actually unfolds, how therapeutically relevant activities are accomplished and even how certain conversational sequences do not have successful outcomes.
A broad array of therapy approaches will be considered in this course: family, couples, client-centred, emotion-focussed, gestalt, etc. But some attention will also be given to neighbouring professions, especially those in which mental-health disclosures may occur; psychiatric consultations; general practice consultations; psychological assessment; support- oriented help lines and counselling.
Some of the main topics that will be covered include:
The role of empathy in creating relational bonds;
Client resistance: how it is managed and how it may block therapeutic progress;
Non-verbal resources and their functions: nodding, gestures, facial expressions;
Storytelling: How clients convey an attitudinal stance and how therapists affiliate with stances;
Therapist practices: questioning, formulating, noticing, interpreting;
Knowledge and epistemology: Do clients own their experience? Are therapists experts?
Identifying therapeutic change in interaction
