Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Psychotherapy Research
  • Psychoanalysis

Context:

  • Psychoanalytic theory posits resistance as a force against therapeutic progress.
  • Previous models viewed resistance primarily as an internal patient dynamic.
  • Therapeutic interactions involve complex interpersonal and communicative elements.

Purpose:

  • To examine the interactive nature of psychological resistance in psychotherapy.
  • To analyze how resistance is co-constructed through patient-therapist dialogue.
  • To investigate the role of verbal and non-verbal communication in resistance.

Summary:

  • Microanalysis of videographed therapeutic sessions reveals resistance is produced interactively.
  • Both verbal and non-verbal cues are employed by patients and therapists in managing interactions and resistance.
  • Findings highlight resistance as an emergent property of the therapeutic encounter, not solely an individual attribute.

Impact:

  • Reframes the understanding of psychological resistance in clinical practice.
  • Informs therapist training on recognizing and managing interactive resistance.
  • Contributes to conversational analysis of therapeutic discourse and phobic/compulsive symptom management.
