Resumen

In psychology in general, and in clinical psychology in particular, there remain a host of inaccurate beliefs about the application of punishment, which is only understood as physical aggression, without taking into account the punitive potential of verbal behavior. In fact, verbal punishment is a widely used tool by the clinician to shape client verbal behavior. In order to clarify the role of verbal punishment in therapy, the present case was analyzed. First, a system for categorizing the client's maladaptive utterances and analyzing their dynamic throughout therapy was constructed, finding a general downward trend. Subsequently, the relationship between the therapist's punitive verbalizations and the client's verbalizations was analyzed, finding that punishment was barely applied to the client's maladaptive verbalizations, mainly being addressed to other type of verbalizations and to the verbal behavior itself.
