摘要

本论文基于45个录音的医生/护士-病人互动，研究了在加纳三个阿坎语社区选定的医院环境中精神病护理咨询的相互作用。使用语篇语用学方法，我们注意到语言是如何在精神病学咨询的沟通管理中使用的，以及医疗保健从业者的主导地位是如何制定的。具体来说，我们关注参与者在管理多语言交际环境时使用的一些策略，例如代码混合。我们的研究结果还表明，谚语在加纳精神病学咨询中作为诊断工具的使用需要进行审查。我们建议，为了让患者体验到更具互动性的咨询会议，并获得可能的治疗益处，卫生从业人员需要做出相当大的努力，让患者参与有关其健康的决策。

Interactions in psychiatric care consultation in Akan speaking communities

The present paper examines interactions in psychiatric care consultation in selected hospital settings in three Akan-speaking communities in Ghana, based on 45 audio-recorded doctor/nurse-patient interactions. Using a discourse pragmatics approach, we note how language is used in the management of communication in psychiatric consultations, and how the dominance of healthcare practitioners is enacted. Specifically, we focus on some of the strategies used by the participants to manage the multilingual communicative settings, such as code-mixing. Our findings also suggest that the use of proverbs as a diagnostic tool in psychiatric consultations in Ghana needs to be reviewed. We propose that in order for patients to experience consultation sessions that are more interactive, with possible therapeutic benefits, health practitioners need to make considerable efforts to involve the patients in decisions regarding their health.
