Abstract
Twenty-seven psychoanalytic sessions were tape-recorded and transcribed with the aim of describing key aspects of the psychoanalytic technique as they appear in these recordings. The method of the study, which included 2 experienced analysts and their 3 patients, was conversation analysis. This study focuses on interpretations that make links between different domains of the patient's experience (childhood, current everyday life, and the analyst–analysand relationship). The analyst is actively working to create a match between the different domains of experience by shaping the description of the patient's experience to display the “sameness” of the connected experiences. There are 2 loci for the analyst's work to create the match: One is the lexical choice within the interpretative statements, and the other is the sequence structure in the discussion that precedes the interpretations. The results are discussed in the light of Spence's concept of linguistic appeal of interpretations.
