Stereotypically thinking: Norms for stereotypical gender nouns in Polish and English.

The present contribution provides norms for a database of Polish (a grammatical gender language) and English (a natural gender language) stereotypical gender and neutral nouns. A total of 317 participants rated the degree of stereotypically feminine and masculine features when presented with 240 nouns in each language. The stimuli were highly controlled for a number of psycholinguistic variables, including word frequency, the number of letters and syllables, age of acquisition, concreteness, valence, and arousal.

Norms for gender stereotypically congruent, stereotypically incongruent, semantically correct, and semantically incorrect sentences in Polish and English.

The present contribution provides ratings for a database of gender stereotypically congruent, stereotypically incongruent, semantically correct, and semantically incorrect sentences in Polish and English. A total of 942 volunteers rated 480 sentences (120 per condition) in each language in terms of their meaningfulness, probability of use, and stereotypicality. The stimuli were highly controlled for their length and critical words, which were shared across the conditions.

How therapists respond to "uneven" alliances in couple and family therapy: A conversation-analytic study.

This article examines how family and couple therapists respond to uneven alliances with their clients at the micro-level of therapeutic exchanges in the context of Interpersonal Process Recall (IPR) interviews. We operationalize uneven alliance with the interactional concept of asymmetry of affiliation. To this end, first, using conversation analysis (CA), we identify episodes of asymmetry of affiliation in the moment-by-moment conversation between the therapist and the client in therapy consultation.

'What should a woman do and imagine to have bulimia?': Co-constructing patient expertise in psychotherapy with bulimia patients.

One of the goals of psychotherapy with bulimia patients is identification of the functions of the eating disorder in their lives. Thus, as in any psychotherapeutic approach, the therapist should facilitate the patient's disclosure of his or her experience of living with bulimia. Talking about one's dysphoric experiences and, particularly in the case of bulimia, symptoms and experiences that commonly deprive people with bulimia of dignity, constitutes an emotional challenge for the patient and an equally challenging interactional task for the therapist.

Expressing the unexpressed: self-disclosure as interactional achievement in the psychotherapy session.

Self-disclosure is endemic to psychotherapy. Though clients themselves disclose their experiences and emotional states during the course of a psychotherapy session, they typically do so with extensive prodding on the part of their therapists. Thus, the therapist's interactional role is an agentive one, facilitating a client's verbalization of therapeutically-relevant material.
