ABSTRACT
This chapter looks at communication and the capacity to communicate one can see that this is closely bound up with relating to objects. Relating to objects is a complex phenomenon and the development of a capacity to relate to objects is by no means a matter simply of the maturational process. The objectively perceived object gradually becomes a person with part objects. There are two opposites of communication, simple non-communication, and active non-communication. The chapter suggests that in health there is a core to the personality that corresponds to the true self of the split personality. One should be able to make a positive statement of the healthy use of non-communication in the establishment of the feeling of real. In the phases of emotional development in the human being, silent communicating concerns the subjective aspect of objects.
