Abstract
We propose the analysis of some behavioral issues which affect communication in people with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) relative to their environment in order to develop a proposal of communication based on the framework of a relational anthropology. A bibliographical review was developed, along with a theoretical proposal. Behavior is understood as a co-constructive relationship between the individual and their environment, while communication is seen as a condition of this relationship. Several advances and opinions about gestuality and non-verbal behavior in people with PD are reviewed from the perspectives which emphasize both the deficit as a non-motor sign of Parkinson and compensatory strategies. Taking as a theoretical framework the relational point of view of human behavior, this article puts forward a co-constructive approach of non-verbal behavior in people with PD, which promotes the idea of health in the context of a chronic illness through the same possibilities that the characteristics of behavior offer, primarily through the phenomenon of paradoxical kinesia.Downloads
