Publisher's Synopsis
Counseling in the field of communication disorders is an essential dimension of professional practice, but just what it entails is often a bit of a mystery. This text addresses this common concern of students and practitioners by illustrating how to integrate the concept of counseling into clinical practice. Replete with a variety of case studies, clinical guidelines, and actual transcripts of counseling interventions with clients and their families, as well as a practical 'toolbox' of specific counseling techniques, it offers a comprehensive, novel, and empirically informed approach to counseling, applicable to a broad range of speech, language, swallowing, and hearing disorders.
