thesis
posted on 2018-09-06, 15:00 authored by Denis SalterThis thesis reports on a discursive and conversation analytic investigation of some of
the work practices of clinical psychologists as they conduct psychological therapy.
The data comprises transcribed talk-in-interaction from meetings between clinical
psychologists and their patients.
Specifically, the thesis provides a socio-historical review of the development of
British clinical psychology and psychotherapy process research. The thesis then
focuses on the contribution of discursive psychology to examining the conduct of
psychological therapy. It puts in place an analysis based on the discursive, situated
and constructed nature of the features of psychological therapies and how the
participants make these relevant. [Continues.]
