In intimate partner violence (IPV) power abuse has been seen as an integral part of the dynamics between the spouses. Therefore examining the conversations concerning power abuse are especially valuable when researching the interaction during couples therapy sessions treating IPV. Studying discourses and interaction with qualitative methods offers information on how dialogue is constructed and how the concepts and positions defining conversation are negotiated in therapy sessions. The data of this study consists of videotaped couples therapy sessions for IPV treatment. Conversations where both spouses are talking about shared power abuse experiences were chosen to detailed analysis. The method of analysis used is a qualitative method called Dialogical Methods for Investigations of Happening of Change (DIHC).DIHC enables micro-analysis of conversational features e.g. dominance, positions, voices, addressees and response categories. Preliminary results indicate that during the sessions there was only a small amount of dialogical speech between the spouses in comparison of monologues or therapist-client interaction. These few dialogical conversations constituted two categories: 1) spouses arguing about whether or not there has been violence and 2) which one of the spouses has been the perpetrator. It seems that the perpetrator dominates the conversations during the sessions. Dialogical conversations between the spouses include mainly disagreements which do not come to a conclusion where the spouses are able to share a mutual point of view. Spouses seem to have difficulties of understanding the partner’s point of view. The final results are elaborated in the congress poster.
