Frequency Distributions of Wishes in the Words and the Speech Acts in the Patients’ Discourse

The results of the analysis of the wishes in the level of words (high values of IL, O1, O2 and mean value of A1) are consistent with her clinical problems (repeated skin cuts followed by a state of withdrawal and generalized apathy). These results contrast the ones obtained in the level of speech acts. It is possible to infer that the results of the analysis of speech acts show the position of the speaker while exchanging with the therapist, and therefore they show the influence of the link, that might be positive or negative, that is to say, that they may create bigger interferences in the therapy. However, the results of the analysis in the level of words show the wishes and the defenses that belong to the patient, overcoming the interferences emerged from the negative influence in the therapeutic link.

We might suggest that, while the results of the speech acts put in evidence the position or the attitude of the speaker, the results of the analysis of words express a wider perspective of his wishes, among which we find those that the speaker takes as his own but also those that he considers belonging to other people. The present study endorses, as well, this proposal of harmonization of the differences between the results of the wishes and the defenses in the speech acts and in the words.
