title: [Nonverbal communications and psychotherapy].
abstract: The authors review the research on non-verbal communications in therapy; they distinguish between psychoanalytic, psychiatric, phenomenological and ecosystemic approaches and compare their respective methodologies. They show that the structural approach is the most advanced as far as systematic description of non-verbal behavior is concerned and therefore is presently the most promising for the inference of the therapeutic process.
