    ¿Cómo hablan las pacientes Introyectivas y Anaclíticas? Microanálisis de las palabras utilizadas por pacientes depresivas durante el proceso psicoterapéutico
    (2017) Orellana Dávalos, Gonzalo Dain; Cantizano Rioseco, Luz Mariela; Valdés Sánchez, Nelson
    The aim of this study was to describe and compare the linguistic style of a group of female patients according to type of symptoms (depressive and anxious), personality style (anaclitic and introjective) and the phase of the therapy (initial and final). A total sample of 125 sessions of 10 therapeutic processes were analyzed using the Spanish version of the Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC). Depressed patients verbalized fewer words referred to "Affective Processes", compared to anxious patients. Likewise, the words referred to "tentativeness" were more used by introjective patients, and less when they presented depressive symptomatology. The implications of the findings for understanding the mechanisms underlying the verbalizations of patients during the psychotherapeutic process are discussed.
