Investigaciones previas han encontrado patrones comunicativos específicos en parejas que lidian con la depresión, específicamente cuando la depresión está asociada con problemas conyugales. Este hecho puede conllevar a que las parejas presenten dificultades para desarrollar una comunicación colaborativa en las sesiones, lo que supone un verdadero reto para los terapeutas. Este estudio exploratorio examina desde un enfoque dialógico la dominancia y el tipo de diálogo establecido en una pareja que lidia con la depresión y que presenta un bajo ajuste diádico. Las respuestas de los terapeutas fueron exploradas para identificar cuáles fueron las más efectivas al propiciar una actitud colaborativa. El método utilizado para analizar el diálogo fue el Método de Investigaciones Dialógicas de Cambio (IDC). Los resultados sugirieron cualidades del diálogo ilustrativas del malestar conyugal presente en la pareja. Se identificaron respuestas terapéuticas a través del diálogo que pueden resultar eficaces si se mantienen a lo largo de la sesión para reducir la hostilidad en la pareja. Se discuten algunas implicaciones clínicas surgidas de los resultados.
