Analyzing therapy talk helps speech-language pathologists understand how communication shapes roles. Examining interaction reveals client competence, improving clinical practice.

Area of Science:

  • Linguistics
  • Communication Sciences
  • Qualitative Research

Background:

  • Therapeutic discourse, the interaction between clinician and client, is a key social practice.
  • Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) can leverage linguistic knowledge to analyze therapy talk.
  • Qualitative methods like conversation analysis inform the understanding of clinical interactions.

Observation:

  • A case study of a 13-year-old girl who stutters is presented.
  • Therapeutic discourse exhibits asymmetry, a common feature in clinical interactions.
  • The analysis focuses on how talking practices influence clinical roles and identities.

Findings:

  • Evidence suggests recognition of the client's communicative competence is emerging within the discourse.
