We look into the transformation of meanings in psychotherapy and suggest a clinical application for Wittgenstein's intuitions concerning the role of linguistic practices in generating significance. In post-modern theory, therapy does not necessarily change reality as much as it does our way of experiencing it by intervening in the linguistic-representational rules responsible for constructing the text which expresses the problem. Since "states of mind assume the truths and forms of the language devices that we use to represent them" (Foucault, 1963, p. 57), therapy may be intended as a narrative path toward a new naming of one's reified experiences. The clinical problem we consider here, the pervasive feeling of inadequacy due to one's excessive height (dysmorphophobia), is an excellent example of "language game" by which a "perspicuous representation" (the "therapy" proposed by Wittgenstein in the 1953) may bring out alternatives to linguistically-built "traps", putting the blocked semiotic mechanism back into motion.
我们探究心理治疗中意义的转变，并为维特根斯坦关于语言实践在产生意义过程中所起作用的直觉提出一种临床应用。在后现代理论中，治疗并非必然改变现实，而是更多地通过干预负责构建表达问题文本的语言表征规则来改变我们体验现实的方式。由于“心理状态假定了我们用以表征它们的语言工具的真理和形式”（福柯，1963，第57页），治疗可被视为一条通向对自身物化体验进行重新命名的叙事路径。我们在此所考虑的临床问题，即因身高过高（恐形症）而产生的普遍不足感，是“语言游戏”的一个绝佳例子，通过这种“语言游戏”，一种“清晰的表象”（维特根斯坦在1953年提出的“治疗”）可能揭示出语言构建的“陷阱”的替代方案，使受阻的符号机制重新运转起来。
