Abstract: In ''talking'' therapy, the personal-experience narrative provides a vehicle through which the patient and therapist can vicariously coprocess experience. This is a common therapeutic process that is also found in music, movement, and art therapies. Evidence from anthropology, experimental psychology, clinical experience, and ordinary social behavior is presented to support this hypothesis.
