Abstract
Spanish hospital, is to investigate how psychotherapy is made visible in psy- chiatric interviews. In particular, the focus is on how psychotherapy is pro- vided in subsequent psychiatric interviews to hospitalized inpatients. Since much of what happens in psychiatric interviews is talk, psychiatrists (as pro- fessionals) are responsible for framing such talk as a distinctive type of speech exchange that differs from ordinary conversation. To fulfll their institutional mandate, psychiatrists need to design their speech as therapeutic and produce the necessary “explicative transactions” accordingly. The accomplishment of this task seems to require the employment of an array of third-turn utterance types like repair, assessments, or formulations. A particular word search is also shown to perform a similar job. Altogether, these interactional devices are initiated by the psychiatrist to (i) conduce patients to discover the benefcial effects of psychotherapy and (ii) highlight psychotherapy as a visible process. On the whole, these interactional objects enable the psychiatrist to constitute the psychiatric interview as a self-explicating phenomenon. This investigation utilizes the research tools developed in conversation analysis (CA).
