- Summary:
- In this remarkable study of "the communicative repertory of humans," Gedo surveys those modes of communication encountered in psychoanalysis that go beyond the lexical meaning of verbal dialogue, including "the music of speech," protolinguistic phenomena, and the language of the body. He then explores the implications of these modes of communication for psychoanalytic technique and for issues of intrapsychic communication. Throughout, Gedo's effort is to translate common psychoanalytic metaphors into operational terms that signify varying competencies in communication and overall cognitive functioning.
