dc.description.abstractThis study analyzed structured interviews of dance/movement therapists and verbal therapists regarding: 1) their observations of what has enhanced their ability to utilize nonverbal cues in being empathic, and 2) what training ideas they could suggest for helping therapist trainees improve their ability to use nonverbal empathic cues. The results, though not significañt statistically significant, were proposed as suggestive of preliminary guidelines for designing an empathy-enhancing therapist training. These guidelines were identified, as were the therapists' training ideas, and their implications for training were assessed
