Abstract

KAZEZ, Ruth. Narrated and acted attempts to persuade, in the context of a psychotherapy session. Subj. procesos cogn. [online]. 2013, vol.17, n.1, pp.175-191. ISSN 1852-7310.

The present article examines the wishes and defences manifested in the discourse of a patient with a papillorenal syndrome, in the context of a psychotherapy session. The David Liberman algorithm is applied on its three levels, focusing on the analysis of narration sequences reported and displayed during the session to describe a strategy of persuasion carried out by the patient, who has a wide scope of intellectual and expressive resources. The interest of this work is clinical and methodological. From the clinical point of view, it shows that the attempts to persuade both her family as her therapist, exposes the core of the risk to repeat traumatic situations. From the methodological perspective, it is a contribution to the study of narrative sequences and the links between them.
