Manual for the Defensive Verbal Behavior Ratings Scale (Version 3.0)

This is a manual on coding defensive verbal behavior, 25 pgs.

"According to Psychotherapy of Neurotic Character (Shapiro, 1989), speech is an action that is motivated to serve some purpose." Defense means they are using the speech primarily to influence him/herself, instead of as a means to communicate with others. The paper is interesting, but does not reflect the kind of emotion from voice for which I am searching.
