La Barre anchors her contribution in a review of both analytic and nonanalytic sources as they bear on clinical issues. Conversant with the language of posture-gesture mergers, of kines and context analysis, and of body attitudes and self-directed touching, she spans the research literatures of all relevant disciplines, from anthropology to developmental psychology to ethology, from studies of temperament to cross-cultural comparisons of interactive rhythms. Turning to the psychoanalytic domain, she begins by considering the traditionally peripheral role of the body that derived from Freud's own belief that action was often an obstacle to verbal understanding. She then reviews the divergent contributions of Ferenczi and Alexander, of Deutsch and Reich, of Sullivan and Klein, to show how analytic attitudes toward the body were reshaped over the ensuing decades. With the advent of the contemporary relational perspective, she holds, the stage is set for a deeper understanding of nonverbal behaviour both as a source of meaning and as a ubiquitous shaper of therapeutic communication
