Zeligs deals with the problem of silence in the analytic situation, both as communication and as resistance. Body postures, as communication, may give substitute information. After presenting the metapsychology of silence, the author discusses the multitudinous ways in which silence is used by both the analyst and the patient. He indicates various technical devices whereby the silence of the patient may be understood and interpreted by the therapist.
