The material presented is part of an ongoing investigation, which studies the intervention of mediums during clairvoyance sessions with consultants who have suffered a state of prolonged grief for the death of a loved one. This case is about family mourning, of difficult processing. The consultants, a couple who lost their teenage son in a car accident. The results of the analysis of a session of clairvoyance starring the medium Gordon Smith with Colin and Pat, parents of a deceased, are discussed - the video documentary was presented in "Mediums , the New Therapists " program broadcast by the signal Infinite channel-. Medium interventions are analyzed from desires in speech acts -deployed scenes- and their probable functions, what enables the devolpment of hypotheses about the way of exercising the healing function effectively. The wishes of the medium are also analyzed at the level of words what guides us as for their subjective disposition. Finally, paraverbal components and movement performances in episodes of mediumship are analyzed. The results are discussed. The research method is The David Liberman Algorithm -DLA-.
