Abstrakt: The article discusses research being done on speech in psychotherapy. It references a study by George F. Mahl in this same issue. The study measured the general discriminatory properties of the patient's speech, that is speech disturbance and silence, in psychotherapy and their use as indices of anxiety. It assumed that the expressive aspects of speech provide the most valid linguistic measures of anxiety as compared to manifest verbal content analysis. In this regard, manifest content is of limited value. Motivational phase judgments have been used as a criteria to validate speech disturbances and silence as anxiety measures.
