  • Underlying Cognitive Mechanisms Associated With the Emotional Work: Analysis of Depressive Patients’ Verbal Expressions Mecanismos Cognitivos Subyacentes Asociados con el Trabajo Nelson Valdés Psicología Therapy change episodes resignification linguistic style cognitive mechanisms The narrative of depressed patients is characterized by the type of content verbalized and the cognitive processes involved. The work of contents associated with the patient’s emotional experience during the conversation involves 3 communicative patterns (CPs) used to work on emotional contents during change episodes (CEs): affective exploration, attunement and resignification (Valdés, Krause, Tomicic, & Espinosa, 2012). The objective of the study was to analyze patients’ and therapists’ CPs and verbalized words to determine the underlying cognitive mechanisms (cause, insight, tentative and certainty) involved in the work of emotional contents during CEs which were identified in 2 psychodynamic therapies in Santiago, Chile. The verbal expressions were analyzed using the Therapeutic Activity Coding System (Valdés, Tomicic, Pérez, & Krause, 2010) and the Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (Pennebaker, Francis, & Booth, 2001). The results demonstrate that cognitive mechanisms play an important role in the process of change, depending on the CP used by the speaker. Therapy promotes a constructive reasoning in which patients eventually adopt some linguistic structures verbalized by their therapists when using the affective resignification pattern. 2014 artículo científico 0717-0297 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=96730635002 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=967 Psykhe application/pdf Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile Psykhe (Chile) Num.1 Vol.23
