Practical case studies were also added, along with examples to help readers with clinical application of the information. Professionals addressing communicative disorders have long recognized the significance of effective interviewing and counseling in clinical situations. Yet, as many clinicians have lamented for years, interviewing and counseling are neglected areas within most educational programs. Graduates go into workplaces with neither coursework nor effective practicum experiences in interviewing and counseling. Too often, clinicians must learn to interview and counsel on their own, "on the fly" while on the job. This is a disservice to clients and is hard on the clinician. Also, such a method of learning does not necessarily mean that the most effective methods of interviewing and counseling are discovered along the way. This book addresses those concerns by providing a comprehensive source for effective counseling and interviewing techniques. Anyone who works with persons with communicative disorders will benefit from this thorough book. Professionals and students alike will find this resource full of practical, pertinent topics. It treats a variety of situations clinicians face and describes methods and techniques applicable to students as well as professionals.

Download or read book Handbook of Genetic Communicative Disorders written by Sanford E. Gerber and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2001-05-11 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many professionals in the communicative sciences are relative newcomers to the understanding of genetics as it applies to communicative disorders. A speech-language clinician certainly can diagnose and treat stuttering, for example, but that clinician may not be fully aware of the role of a genetic counselor for the family of a stutterer. An audiologist may be able to assess a hearing impairment, but an understanding of the underlying genetics of that impairment would make that person a better audiologist. The medical geneticist, similarly, could have an inadequate appreciation of how our genes may affect language function. All of these professionals need a source that brings together essential ideas from related disciplines.This is a book about human communication, both normal and disordered, and how our communication abilities are affected by our genes. Many, probably most, communicative disorders are of genetic origin, even if not exclusively genetic. A knowledge of genetics, therefore, is essential to our understanding of communication, of communicative disorders, of how such disorders come about, and of how to deal with them.This is the only book to consider the genetics of communicative disorders from a broad perspective. It examines genetics, embryology, and epidemiology, along with study of the hearing, speech, and language disorders themselves. It also introduces review of issues relevant to genetic counseling and ethics. It is a unique and comprehensive work whose contributors are the leading experts in their respective disciplines. * Only book available to consider all communicative disorders* Unparalleled scrutiny of the sciences basic to the genetics of communicative disorders* Specific attention paid to clinical and ethical issues
