Abstract
Therapeutic discourse is interaction between professional and client aimed at improving the client's mental health. In psychotherapy, therapeutic discourse is the central activity, as the aim of the therapists is to talk in ways that improve the client's mental health. There are two rather different research traditions that focus on therapeutic discourse. Psychotherapy process research describes therapeutic discourse from clinical and psychological perspective, while conversation analysis ( CA ) employs concepts and tools of linguistic and social scientific interaction research for the analysis of therapeutic discourse. Both of these traditions will be discussed in this article.
