Some expressive and communicative functions of eye and face movements are described via clinical examples from group psychotherapy. A blind person in a group of seeing patients led to a shift in communicative modes involving tactile and voice-tone communication. They found idiosyncratic meanings for users of looking for approval, looking away, absence of direct looking, lining up objects and people in a direct line of people, and winking. Exchanged looks facilitated subgroup formation. 'Looking at' was seen as avoidance, 'looking at objects' as objects for affect displacement, and 'looking up' as interior gaze. Head tilt and mouth gestures also enter this realm.
