Title: The Clinical Validation of Measures of the Referential Process
Abstract: The focus of this discussion is to review research on the three phases of the Referential Process by examining the relationships between raters’ scoring and other referential process language measures in segments of analytic transcript material that had been scored by WRAD and identified as being in the arousal, symbolizing or reorganizing zones. Results indicated that the Arousal phase is best characterized by disfluency and expressions of affect without specific valence. The Symbolizing phase is the phase of storytelling, characterized by high Referential Activity. The patient’s narrative is connected to an activated emotion schema, thus his language is more specific, clear and evocative. The Reorganizing phase was characterized by use of reflection, as well as affect and somatic words. This study demonstrates that there are significant linguistic markers for each of the three phases of the Referential Process.
