Abstract
This study takes as a starting point the need for further observational research in identifying the phenomenon of cohesion in group psychotherapy. The purpose is to test the possibility that there are relevant observational technologies that, like the microscope, can reveal phenomena that cannot be perceived directly but that underpin events at the perceptual level. Two text analytical approaches will be applied to mutually support possible findings: conversation analysis as a qualitative tool and quantitative computer-assisted text analysis following the therapeutic cycles model (TCM). The text to be analyzed is a transcript of Session 9 of a psychodynamic psychotherapy group for seven women diagnosed with an eating disorder. Within the cycles there is higher category density, higher levels of coherence, and tying across turns. The TCM reliably can identify features of the therapeutic process that are of clinical interest.
