Process Oriented Coma Work, (or simply coma work) refers to a body of theory and practice for psychotherapeutic work with patients in comatose, vegetative, and other highly withdrawn states of consciousness. It was developed by psychotherapist Arnold Mindell and is an extension of Process Oriented Psychology ("process work") It is based on observations by Arnold and Amy Mindell and others that patients who appear non-communicative according to the usual neuropsychiatric diagnostic criteria still experience the world around them and are capable of communicating using subtle, often barely detectable nonverbal signals. Coma work begins with the attitude that the comatose patient is capable of perceiving and relating to outer and inner experience, no matter how minimally. The coma worker therefore tries to discover what communication channels are open to the patient, and then to use these channels to relate to the patient's experience.
