Resumen:
Clinical inference is, perhaps, the central activity of psychotherapists in the context of the
psychotherapeutic situation. However, there are few systematic empirical studies dealing with the
ways in which psychotherapists work with and construct their hypotheses about the material
offered by their patients.
Several studies have been conducted to explore similarities and differences in the clinical work
of psychotherapists with different theoretical approaches and levels of experience. The first
(Leibovich de Duarte et al., 1998) studied the similarities and differences of Freudian and
Lacanian psychoanalysts both senior (more than 20 years of clinical experience) and junior (less
than 10 years of clinical experience). A second study, still in progress, (Leibovich de Duarte et
al., 2000), investigates the same topic comparing psychoanalysts, cognitive and systemic
psychotherapists. It explores which authors constitute the therapists theoretical framework, the
nature of the goals they set for their clinical practice, and it also has inquired into whether they
use technical resources other than those proposed by their theory. In addition, possible
connections between the moments in the patients discourse from which the therapists select cues
to elaborate their clinical inferences and CRA patterns (Mergenthaler & Bucci, 1999) that
characterize the patients discourse are explored.
