Abstract
Postmodern approaches to therapy have been greatly informed by developments in social constructionist theory. Paralleling these innovations have been similarly informed developments in qualitative research, particularly in discourse analysis. For its attention to the taken-for-granted and microdynamic aspects of conversation, discourse analysis can help therapists better attune to their primary activity: constructively talking with clients. This article highlights some discursive “whats” and “hows” that can serve as signposts for therapists in minding their part in therapeutic dialogue with clients.
