Abstract

We present the results of further analys of 152nd sessions of the exemplary case of Amalia. We apply the methods of conversation analysis and the analysis of metaphors to the script of the audio record using the new system of transcription that reflects prosodic elements of dialogue in the analytic dyad. In this part of our study one can “see” a) a “dance of insight” of the patient and the analyst, which reveals the pattern of interaction between two positions; b) the creation of metaphors by the participants of the analytic dyad, which are then used as cognitive tools and means of communication that allows among other things to reflect the extraordinary complexity of the analytic interaction in a condensed way. In addition, we show the relevance of the threefold model of analytic conversation for the generalized descriptions of prosodic rhythmicity and other prosodic characteristics. This model consists of the following components: “interaction engine”, “talking to” and “talking about”.
