The model understands each client as a community of voices: multiple and not necessarily integrated aspects that together constitute one's personality. Voices are active agentic entities within an individual that strive for expression and enter in active dialogic interactions with other voices. This study assessed whether clients bring more than one voice to psychotherapy and whether these voices can be reliably recognized and described. Two methods (one based on transcripts, and one based on sounds of clients speech) were applied to a sample of psychotherapy sessions, and voices thus identified were compared. First, graduate student raters trained in the transcript-based method intensively studied one transcribed session per client, described the internal voices they observed, and selected best representative passages of each voice. Then undergraduate raters trained in how to detect voices from speech sounds independently listened to audiotapes of these passages, and re-classified them in terms of voices based on voice descriptions provided to them. We assessed the extent to which selection of voices based on speech sounds replicated the selection based on transcript analyses. We also examined personality characteristics attributed to voices by raters who listened to the tape versus characteristics attributed to voices by raters who read transcripts. We found that across the two rating conditions, raters generally did not reliably classify the same segments of clinical material into the same voices. Segments of client in-session speech apparently looked differently when approached from transcript versus audio. On the other hand, when comparing personality ratings of voices identified within clients, we found the two perspectives to be generally similar. However, certain personality-affect characteristics were better perceived from clients’ words and others from clients’ speech sounds. Personality and affect characteristics related to the continuum of dominance-submission were described highly consistently across rating conditions while characteristics related to affiliation (love-hate) were considerably less consistent. We discuss theoretical and methodological implications of these findings and outline new conceptual questions they suggest. 2005-09-20 English text Miami University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1126803897 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1126803897 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
