Description
The book is an empirical study of naturally occurring talk between psychotherapist and clients. Talk as Therapy aims to investigate how psychotherapy as practice is contextually and interactionally accomplished. It also addresses the infiltration of therapeutic norms and strategies into new social contexts and offers practical guidelines as to how to conduct ethnographic fieldwork at the (inter)professional research site in order to produce practically relevant findings.
