Jasmin Spiegel presented her current project “Psychotherapy as dance” that is situated in the field of psychotherapy process research. Informed by the interpersonal and corporeal turn in psychology, results on implicit communication in infant research, on interaffective bodies from neuroscience and effects of embodying emotional experiences, the talk focused on the characteristics of emergent moments between therapist and patients and their nonverbal markers. A joint approach between psychoanalytic and dance scientific concepts and methods was presented to assess those emergent moments, that elicit a change in the implicit relational knowledge of the patient. Single cases from filmed psychotherapy sessions were presented. The micro-dramaturgy of the implicit communication between therapists and patients were lively discussed with the fellows.
