The encounter with a mute patient, closed in a world that is difficult to explore, represents a great therapeutic challenge. The construction of trust and the therapeutic alliance relies on repeated communicative attempts, which allow over time the creation of an intersubjective space that opens to mutual understanding and recognition. This approach uses the developments of information theory as a key to understanding.

Keywords: Therapeutic Communication, Translation, Alliance, Trust, Information Theory.
