It has been pointed out the importance of the rules to explain and to treat psychological problems. However it hasn’t emphasize the role that the therapist’s rules could have in clinical process. As a first step to give an answer, we realize a morphological analysis of verbalization- like-rule emitted by the therapist throughout the clinical process with the aim to identify a patron of emission of this kind of verbalization that changes according to different moments of therapy. This study analyzed the verbalization-like-rules emitted by 9 therapists over 19 clinical cases (92 sessions). The verbalizations were coded according to a system of categorization of the Rules Therapist (SISC-RULES-T). The results showed differences between the type of verbalizations-like-rules and target the therapist aims to achieve at different times of therapy. These results may help to understand how the therapist uses this kind of verbalizations, helping to clarify the functional role of rules issued by the therapist for clinical change.
