Historical development of the author’s synthesis includes aspects of family therapy theory, DMT theory and research and movement observation, all necessary skills for this work. The instrument has been used in a variety of clinical settings and in research with difficult issues within the family system.

Synchronisation of Nonverbal Interaction in Psychotherapy

Sunday, July 25, 2010 - 8:45 - 9:30 a.m.

Nonverbal synchrony – the coordination of nonverbal behavior in social interaction – is associated with the perceived quality of a relationship. Movement behavior of patients and therapists in psychtherapy was automatically assessed by computer software. In a sample of 104 same-sex therapies, synchronized movements were significantly more frequent than would be expected by chance. Nonverbal synchrony was more pronounced in dyads with good relationship quality and in therapies with good outcome.
