Abstract
According to Carl Rogers, therapy must be non- directive in order to be efective. Tis means that the therapist needs to be trained to work within the clients’ frame of reference and do so in their practice. Conversation analytic research, however, suggests that therapists who claim to practise non-directive, non-authoritarian therapy nevertheless exercise subtle means of infuencing their clients (e.g. through active listening, see Fitzgerald and Leudar 2010). Te questions are: what in practice counts as being non-directive and how (relatively) nondirective psy- chotherapy is accomplished in practice. Te present paper focuses on formulations which are one of the therapist’s most useful tools and we demonstrate how these are used to guide clients to think along lines conducive to change.
