FRIAS Project

Conversation Analysis – an evaluative tool? Comparing pair dynamics before and after treatment

In psychotherapy process research therapeutic conversations are evaluated by trained raters or by applying questionnaires – evaluating 3-5 min snippets of a session or from session to session. We want to make an attempt to use Conversation Analysis as a tool for evaluative purpose. A young couple talks in front of the camera about their present problems – before and after treatment. How can we decide if their relationship improved or not? Which dimensions do they consider as relevant? What can be observed by CA?

The project is part of the FRIAS research focus „Synchronization in Embodied Interaction“
