Summary

The quality of the therapeutic intervention in a first psychotic episode is a major challenge for quality and effectiveness of treatment. This project aims to better understand the mechanisms underlying the quality of communication between patient and psychiatrist, especially those related to non-verbal communication. Psychiatrist/patient interpersonal motor synchronization is a reliable index of therapeutic alliance and a predictor of psychotherapy effectiveness. This project aims to show a link between psychiatrist and patient motor synchrony and treatment adherence. This link could be explained by an association between therapeutic alliance and motor synchronization.
