心理臨床における非言語的な<動き>の意味について

Abstract

This study aims to examine the meanings of nonverbal "movement" in clinical psychology, which is a problem not focused on in case study. The author attempts to define the meanings of "movement" in the clinical, psychological, and psychotherapeutic context. This "movement" involving various perspectives on human existence, is based on "implicit relational knowing" or the relationship between therapist and client in that session. We tend to understand "movement" as a human objective behavior, but "movement" includes the inner meanings of the human mind and expresses one's physical reality directly. In addition, the author distinguishes transmitting "movement" from expressive "movement." The former transmits effects or moods, which the human ego cannot control, to others through the body. On the other hand, the latter projects the human's physical, inner senses. The two "movements" have a primitive living rhythm, which humans feel by somatic sensations or common sense. This rhythm is concerned with life-sustaining activities. Natural life rhythm combines the physical part with the mental part, and potentially has the imaginative functions that make human beings humane.
