In this article we identify one particular way in which the reflecting team process is used by family therapists. We show that reflecting teams draw upon occasions in the main session to intensify and extend positivity in the reflecting session. This analysis identified positive connotation as a device by which a hopeful orientation is established. Videos of family therapy sessions were obtained and transcripts of these sessions made. Excerpts with hope and positivity were identified and conversation analysis was used to gain insight into the organization and function of this talk. In addition, therapist interventions occurring during the main therapy session and which were reworked in the reflecting session were identified and analyzed. Sixteen examples of this paired talk are presented, and two exemplars are analyzed in full. Main session interpretations of talk and the reflecting team second versions (a device identified as paired talk) were found to work together as a resource for the construction and reinforcement of positive connotation in family therapy. Practitioner points Positive connotation is constructed through therapists’ talk; this study shows in close detail how positive connotation is ‘talked into being’. There is little opportunity for family members themselves to ratify or challenge these constructions. Practitioners could engage family members by gaining feedback on the constructions of positive connotation. 触手可得的多种声音和配对谈话：家庭治疗师们怎样在谈话中创建积极意义 本文谈论家庭治疗师运用小组反思过程的一种特别方式。我们发现反思小组会利用主要会面中的一些场景来加强和延伸反思会面中的积极性。本研究分析揭示了积极意义可以作为一种工具来建立充满希望的导向。我们获取了家庭治疗会面的录像, 并对这些录像进行了转录。充满希望和积极性的部分被选取出来并进行了对话分析, 以获得对这次谈话的组织和功能的深入理解。此外, 我们还提取并分析了发生在主要咨询会面里, 而在反思会面中又重新被处理的治疗过程。我们呈现了16个配对谈话的案例, 并全面分析了其中2个。研究发现, 主要会面中对对话的解读以及反思小组的第二个解读版本（即配对谈话的方法）能够共同在家庭治疗过程中建构和加强积极性。 对实务工作者的启示 积极意义通过治疗师们的谈话来构建；这一研究从细节上展示了具体怎样营造积极意义。 家庭成员自己很少有机会评估或者挑战这些构建。 实践者们可以通过获得在积极意义构建方面的反馈来吸引家庭成员的参与。 关键词：积极意义；反思小组；对话分析
