[Body language in the psychoanalytic treatment situation].
Patient body language allows for the development of counter-transference and reaction on the part of the therapist. This interpersonal interaction is bound to signals, often unconsciously emitted by the client, to which the therapist responds. The author describes how, by means of a newly developed technique of expression confrontation, aspects of object relationship can be transferred and/or defended by means of body language. Non-verbally communicated signals are categorized according to the type of relationship disturbance into paradoxical stimulation, under- or overstimulation. Through case examples the reader is introduced to a therapeutical approach to these object-relationship disturbances. It is demonstrated that the body language of the patient can only become accessible through a situational relationship aspect of the therapeutic effort.
