“…In the therapeutic context, the research on touch has produced mixed findings. Situation appropriate, nonerotic touch has been found to foster self-exploration (Jourard & Rubin, 1968;Pattison, 1973), increase verbal interaction (Aguilera, 1967), increase the client's perception of expertness in the counselor (Hubble, Noble, & Robinson, 1981), and produce more positive attitudes toward the counseling process (Alagna, Whitcher, Fisher, & Wicas, 1979). Fisher, Rytting, and Heslin (1976), however, found that men rated touch more negatively than did women.…”

“…Many clinical researchers have reported positive effects of counselor nonverbal behaviors on clients' evaluation of their counselors. For example, high levels of counselor eye contact, forward body lean, direct body orientation, smiling, head-nodding, touch, and certain arm and leg positions affect clients' positive evaluation of the counselor on such dimensions as empathy, warmth, and genuineness (Hubble, Noble, & Robinson, 1981;Sharpley, 1987;Smith-Hanen, 1977).…”

This study examined the effects of neurolinguistic mirroring versus nonmirroring of selected nonverbal behaviors on empathy, trustworthiness, and positive interaction in a cross-cultural setting among 60 Choctaw adolecents and Caucasian female counselors. Results indicated significant mirroring effects on the empathy scale of the Barrett-Lennard Relationship Inventory.The quality of the therapeutic relationship is a prime consideration in counseling and psychotherapy. Good rapport in the counseling relationship has consistently been associated with beneficial changes (Carkhuff & Berenson. 1967;Egan, 1975; Rogers, 1957). For this reason, empathy and trustworthiness, the two core elements of a rapport, have become the sine qua Ron of effective counseling pepper & Haase, 1978). They are particularly crucial in cross-cultural counseling. According to Atkinson, Morten, and Sue (1983):Much of the criticism related to minority group counseling focuses upon the interactions that occur between counselor and client. Counseling is seen as a process of interpersonal interaction and communication which requires accurate sending and receiving of both verbal and nonverbal messages. When the counselor and client come from different cultural backgrounds, barriers to communication are likely to develop, leading to misunderstandings that destroy rapport and render counseling ineffective.
