ABSTRACT
Therapy—necessarily—entails dialogue. Outside dialogue, therapy simply cannot exist. What we can discuss, however, is the specific kind of dialogue our therapies are made of. From this—rather different—standpoint, peculiarities start to emerge. I think such peculiarities and differences are linked to the role played by the therapist within the therapeutic dialogue, and to the counter-role(s) consequently played by client(s). In order to flesh out my reflections, I will start from a clinical vignette.
