Аннотация:The article presents the application of Mikhail Bakhtin’s dialogical methodology to the analysis of a child’s story. The study demonstrates that infantile speech is a fundamental constructive basis for a child’s self-awareness and that it is as dialogical as a child’s self-awareness. A unit of analysis here is a child’s utterance, which is a relatively completed act of consciousness though. When approached so, a child’s story can be analyzed as an expression of consciousness’ structures that are historically interconnected, hierarchically organized and dynamically saturated. Moreover, those structures are integrated into inner dialogues, and the inner dialogues are in their turn social dialogues with a child’s environment incorporated into his/her personal history. When seen this way, a child’s story not only represents actual structures of a child’s self-awareness, but also opens up a history of consciousness development in it. Speech dialogical character corresponds here to consciousness dialogical character. Dialogical phenomenology and analytics of text study, developed by Mikhail Bakhtin, follows this understanding of consciousness and speech. The article presents its further development and possibilities for its application in development psychology and child clinical psychology. The elaboration of this methodology opens new possibilities of verifying the data obtained in the practice of depth psychotherapy, but as empirically gauged, i.e. as better-formulated and objective results of analysis.
