When ordinary verbal communication is partially impaired or breaks down entirely, as in the case of autistic children and schizophrenic adults, knowledge of man's nonverbal language can be an extremely useful analytical tool. By reading such unconscious gestures as movements of the fingers and hand, the Birmingham scientists point out, the psychiatrist is in a position to discover important new clues to the patient's inner turmoil. Even when the patient seems to be able to communicate verbally, a doctor...
