概要	We conducted a preliminary study to examine the effective index, which objectively indicates the development of the therapeutic process. It has been repeatedly reported that clients often insert silence in their speech when trying to focus on their feelings. This study quantitatively analysed the duration of pauses (i.e. silence) and utterances of a therapist and a client during Japanese psychotherapy sessions. Four, 50-minute sessions were analysed, including two low-evaluated sessions (low-evaluation cases) and two highly evaluated sessions (high-evaluation cases). Results indicated that the percentage and duration of clients' pauses within high-evaluation cases were higher than those in low-evaluation cases. We discuss the implication of the use of silence during psychotherapy.
