Description
The growing linguistic and cultural diversity in Europe has brought interpreter-mediated psychotherapy (IMP) to the forefront of clinical practice. Interpreters play a crucial role in enabling communication between therapists and patients who do not share a common language – a practice that is gaining in societal relevance but remains under-investigated from a scientific standpoint. Because the presence of an interpreter transforms the traditional therapist-patient dyad into a triadic conversational framework, there are considerable implications for how therapeutic relationships are formed, maintained, and negotiated and for the process and outcome of therapy.
This special issue of the European Journal of Applied Linguistics aims to deepen our understanding of the communicative, linguistic, and relational dynamics in IMP. We invite contributions that explore how language, discourse, and interaction shape therapeutic processes and outcomes in multilingual settings.
We particularly welcome submissions that investigate the co-construction and (interactional) accomplishment of the therapeutic relationship, trust, empathy, communicative ruptures and repairs, and the role of interpreters as relational, cultural and linguistic brokers of interaction in therapy. Comparative studies with monolingual psychotherapeutic interactions are also possible, if they include data from IMP.
________________________________________
Possible Topics
Submissions may address (but are not limited to) the following themes:
• Linguistic and discursive dimensions of IMP
• Trust, empathy, and alliance in IMP
• Communicative ruptures and repair mechanisms in IMP
• The interpreter’s role as a co-constructor of the therapeutic relationship
• Ethical and practical implications of interpreter involvement in therapy
• Comparative studies between monolingual and interpreter-mediated sessions
• In-person vs. online IMP
We encourage empirical, data-based studies drawing on fields such as conversation analysis, discourse analysis, translation/interpreting studies, psychotherapy research, or applied linguistics.
________________________________________

• Abstract submission deadline: 10. 11. 2025
• Full paper submission deadline: 31. 3. 2026
