This paper is based on simultaneous split screen frame-by-frame video analysis of orienting and looking behaviors of patient and therapist in the psychotherapeutic process. The therapist and eight patients, children and adolescents who had been diagnosed as “conduct disorders” constituted the study population. The video analysis enabled the therapist to get information about out-of-awareness postural and orienting behaviors. These behaviors eventually informed the nonverbal dimension treatment. For the study, preselected portions of the video tapes were examined to clarify subtle orienting and looking patterns of patient and therapist. The results served as feedback for the treatment as a whole and as a guide for the next session. One such treatment is illustrated.
