Abstract
The analyses of therapy interactions collected in this issue also reflect the different trends mentioned above, a tendency which can be observed in the diversity of the literature concerning this interdisciplinary field. Given the number and diversity of the types of corpora studied, together with the analytical approaches and the objectives aimed at, the articles published here indeed raise questions as to the specificity of these interactions – presupposing the existence of a certain homogeneity in their form and structure – and as to their relationships with other kinds of interaction. The question is, therefore: what are the results and the consequences, both theoretical and descriptive, of analyses of specific therapy interactions (analyses such as those presented in this issue)?
