Therapeutic Bond: Approach from the dialog and the co-construction of meanings
Abstract
This article deals with the study of therapeutic relation from a dialogical and micro-level perspective. The aim is to describe this dynamics of the ongoing experience, its construction and its relationship with the psychological elaboration that takes place. The verbal interchanges observed through semiotic analysis are the study object. The article illustrates the analysis through an extract of a psychotherapeutic session. The bond is developed through dynamics of positioning of partners in dialogue around dialectic fields of meaning where dynamics of tension, ambivalence and opposition emerge. These dynamics are part of the intersubjective process, which can be redirected from each participant, having the culture a key role in the process.
