Abstract

This paper is based on simultaneous split screen frame-by-frame video analysis of orienting and looking be-haviors of eight patients, children and adolescents who had been diagnosed as “conduct disorders“ and therapist in the psychotherapeutic process (Topel 2004). The video analysis enabled the therapist to get information about out of aware-ness behaviors, contributed to the nonverbal dimension of the treatment and to set up a therapeutic bond. One such treatment (Topel et al. 2004, Topel and Lachmann 2007) is illustrated.

Keywords
Nonverbal, bidirectional interactions, aggression.
