Psychological considerations in vocal rehabilitation. 1981

F S Brodnitz

The study of the human voice in phoniatric laboratories has added greatly to our knowledge of the physiology and pathology of vocal function. In dealing with voice patients, it must be supplemented by a consideration of all the psychological factors that determine vocal behavior and the relationship between patient and clinician. This discussion deals with the psychological reaction to voice, vocal dynamics, and approaches to therapy. Success in vocal rehabilitation depends on constant attention to these considerations.
