Abstract

This article surveys recent research on interpersonal communication conducted by the Victoria Group and organizes the findings according to the “axioms” proposed in Pragmatics of human communication (Watzlawick, Beavin, & Jackson, 1967). The topics include: establishing when a nonverbal behaviour is a nonverbal communication; investigations of “one cannot not communicate,” including disqualified (equivocal) communication; studies of the communicative context in psychological research; verbal and nonverbal relationship level communication; analogically encoded nonverbal acts; and interpersonal systems. Some of the original propositions have been supported, others modified, and some substantially changed. The relation of research to clinical practice is discussed.
