Dialogical Sequence Analysis and the Zone of Proximal Development as Conceptual Enhancements to the Assimilation Model: The Case of Jan Revisited
Abstract
The assimilation model has proposed a set of developmental stages through which a client's problematic experiences pass in successful psychotherapy. We present 2 conceptual additions to the model. First, we examine the client's problematic experiences using dialogical sequence analysis, an intensive method for studying the moment-to-moment process. Second, we extend the developmental stages to describe the intersubjective exchange between client and therapist by introducing Vygotsky's concept of the zone of proximal development. We illustrate the application of the new conceptual tools by presenting 3 excerpts from the 1st session with Jan, a 42-year-old woman whose therapy has been studied previously. Our analysis suggested that, during the 1st session, Jan's problems reached higher developmental stages in the joint exchange with her therapist (i.e., in the zone of proximal development) than in her internal assimilation.

“Re-conceptualization IMs are also akin to what Hermans (2003) has called a metaposition, a position from where the other I-positions can be seen and evaluated (see also Dimaggio, Salvatore, Azzara & Catania;Leiman & Stiles, 2001).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
