This book presents a Communication Skills Approach to the treatment of adolescent stuttering which has been developed over many...

Mastering Blocking and Stuttering: A Cognitive Approach to Achieving Fluency
ISBN: 9781904424406 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Most people who stutter are consistently fluent in certain contexts such as speaking to their pet or to a person they are comfortable with. Now, this remarkable publication offers a completely new approach to treating this debilitating condition. Bodenhamer explains that this phenomenon results from the thinking (cognition) process of the stutterer as he associates speaking with the rising panic of blocking. Because blocking and stuttering are learned behaviors, they can be unlearned.

The Symbiotic Relationship between Pitch Discrimination Skills and Emotional Speech
ISBN: 9783836427128 / Angielski / Miękka / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Previous research indicates that a relationship between music lessons and speech prosody skills exists. Speech prosody, like music, uses variations in pitch, tone, and volume to add an emotional content to communications. Studies suggest that musical training transfers its effects into speech prosody skills. The relationship between the pitch discrimination skills used in music training and speech prosody has largely been unexamined. This book examines the hypothesis that differences would be found in the pretest and posttest prosody skills of a treatment group which received pitch...
