520 _aWe carried out a long-term psychological accompaniment based upon a phenomenological and, more specifically, a clinical approach. We were able to check our hypothesis: when language disappears we can still observe body language. The content of the clinical accompaniment helped us to develop our thinking. We elaborated our ideas by going back and forth between theory and clinical observations. The imitative gestures were repositioned in the context of the sessions. These imitative gestures accompany different feelings. The imitative gestures matched the patient’s psychic movements and could be interpreted by the therapist. Therefore, they revealed a certain awareness of the self and the Other. These body movements, mostly reproductive, turned out to be an interesting path for psychotherapeutic accompaniment.
