Non-verbal Communication in Depression Paperback / softback
by Heiner Ellgring
Part of the European Monographs in Social Psychology series
Paperback / softback
Description
How does mood affect non-verbal communication, the gazes, gestures and facial expressions which accompany dialogue?
This important monograph, based on a longitudinal study of five hundred interviews with depressed patients and normal subjects, systematically examines the ways in which mental illness may affect non-verbal interaction patterns.
A number of specific patterns of non-verbal behaviour are identified which relate directly to psychological state and also depend on the interaction of the participants in a dialogue.
Non-verbal Communication in Depression is not only rich in much-needed empirical data, but it also offers a fresh theoretical and methodological perspective on communicative behaviour in general.
Most importantly, perhaps, it represents a real advance in our understanding of the functions of various non-verbal mechanisms and thus provides the clinical psychologist and psychiatrist with an important diagnostic tool.
