Abstract
This study analyzes the different types and uses of direct reported speech in the context of psychotherapeutic discussions. The data are drawn from four sessions of group therapy. The participants were 6 men, doing a program of recovery from drug addiction, and a psychologist. The entire sessions have been videotaped and transcribed.
Direct reported speech occurrences have been classified with regard to author, content, and time location of the quote. An overarching distinction concerns the fictional versus realistic character of the quotes. Data show that the therapist’s talk is strongly characterized by fictional quotes, whereas the patients make a more narrative use of reported speech. Specific functions of reported speech are also examined in relation to therapeutic work, proposing a view on identity and self-understanding as based on intertextuality.
