Phoniatrics III: Acquired Motor Speech and Language Disorders – Dysphagia – Phoniatrics and COVID-19 (European Manual of Medicine)
by Antoinette am Zehnhoff-Dinnesen Antonio Schindler Patrick G. ZorowkaThis book series, in three volumes, draws on the specialized insights and extensive clinical experience of phoniatric experts to offer a basis for the development of concerted European training standards, with the goal of guaranteeing a high quality of phoniatric care for all European patients. Communication disorders in all age groups are covered, and the interdisciplinary character of phoniatrics is mirrored in the inclusion of contributions from a range of other medical and non-medical disciplines. This third volume is devoted to acquired motor speech and language disorders (dysarthria, dyspraxia, and aphasia), swallowing disorders, and phoniatric aspects in treatment of COVID-19 infections. Basic aspects, including etiology and pathogenesis, are fully addressed, and guidance provided on diagnostic methods, differential diagnosis, prevention, treatment/rehabilitation, and prognosis. The reader will benefit from numerous color photos, tables as well as supplementary electronic material, including audio and video examples. This book is intended for residents and practitioners in phoniatrics and also for ENT physicians, medical students, logopedists, and speech and language pathologists and therapists.
Phonological Acquisition and Phonological Theory
by John ArchibaldMuch of the work currently conducted within the framework of Universal Grammar and language learnability focuses on the acquisition of syntax. However, the learnability issues are just as applicable to the domain of phonology. This volume is the first to gather research that assumes a sophisticated phonological framework and considers the implications of this framework for language acquisition -- both first and second. As such, this book truly deals with phonological acquisition rather than phonetic acquisition.
Phonological Disorders in Children: Theory, Research and Practice (Psychology Library Editions: Speech and Language Disorders)
by Mehmet S. YavasOriginally published in 1991, the recent developments in the study of phonological disorders in children had led to a fruitful interaction between speech pathology and phonology. It is one aspect of the application of linguistic theory to the study of speech and language disorders which had opened up a new field, clinical linguistics. This book brings together the concerns of the linguist and the speech pathologist; the essays chosen share the quality of not discussing theory or therapy without addressing the implications one has for the other. By concentrating on recent work the editor hoped to stimulate further discussion in this important and fast growing area of research.
Phonological Encoding and Monitoring in Normal and Pathological Speech
by Roelien Bastiaanse Robert J. Hartsuiker Albert Postma Frank WijnenThis book reports recent research on mechanisms of normal formulation and control in speaking and in language disorders such as stuttering, aphasia and verbal dyspraxia. The theoretical claim is that such disorders result both from deficits in a component of the language production system and interactions between this component and the system that 'monitors' for errors and undertakes a corrective behaviour. In particular, the book focuses on phonological encoding in speech (the construction of a phonetic plan for utterances), on verbal self-monitoring (checking for correctness and initiating corrective action if necessary), and on interactions between these processes. Bringing together sixteen original chapters by leading international researchers, this volume represents a coherent statement of current thinking in this exciting field. The aim is to show how psycholinguistic models of normal speech processing can be applied to the study of impaired speech production. This book will prove invaluable to any researcher, student or speech therapist looking to bridge the gap between the latest advances in theory and the implications of these advances for language and speech pathology.
Phonological Skills and Learning to Read: Classic Edition (Essays in Developmental Psychology)
by Peter Bryant Usha GoswamiThis book sets out to integrate recent exciting research on the precursors of reading and early reading strategies adopted by children in the classroom. It aims to develop a theory about why early phonological skills are crucial in learning to read, and shows how phonological knowledge about rhymes and other units of sound helps children learn about letter sequences when beginning to be taught to read. The authors begin by contrasting theories which suggest that children's phonological awareness is a result of the experience of learning to read and those that suggest that phonological awareness precedes, and is a causal determinant of, reading. The authors argue for a version of the second kind of theory and show that children are aware of speech units, called onset and rime, before they learn to read and spell. An important part of the argument is that children make analogies and inferences about these letter sequences in order to read and write new words.
Phonological Skills and Learning to Read: Classic Edition (Psychology Press & Routledge Classic Editions)
by Peter Bryant Usha GoswamiIn this classic edition of their ground-breaking work, Usha Goswami and Peter Bryant revisit their influential theory about how phonological skills support the development of literacy. The book describes three causal factors which can account for children’s reading and spelling development: pre-school phonological knowledge of rhyme and alliteration the impact of alphabetic instruction on knowledge about phonemes links between early spelling and later reading. This classic edition includes a new introduction from the authors which evaluates research from the past 25 years. Examining new evidence from auditory neuroscience, statistical modelling and orthographic database analyses, as well as new data from cognitive developmental psychology and educational studies, the authors consider how well their original ideas have stood up to the test of time. Phonological Skills and Learning to Read will continue to be essential reading for students and researchers in language and literacy development, and those involved in teaching children to read.
Phonology for Communication Disorders
by Martin J. Ball Nicole Muller Ben RutterThis textbook describes the approaches to phonology that are most relevant to communication disorders. It examines schools of thought in theoretical phonology, and their relevance to description, explanation and remediation in the clinical context. A recurring theme throughout the book is the distinction between phonological theories that attempt elegant, parsimonious descriptions of phonological data, and those that attempt to provide a psycholinguistic model of speech production and perception. This book introduces all the relevant areas of phonology to the students and practitioners of speech-language pathology and is a companion volume to the authors’ Phonetics for Communication Disorders.

Photography and September 11th: Spectacle, Memory, Trauma
by Jennifer GoodIt is all but impossible to think of September 11th 2001 and not, at the same time, recall an image. The overwhelmingly visual coverage in the world's media pictured a spectacle of terror, from images of the collapsing towers, to injured victims and fatigued firefighters. In the days, weeks and months that followed, this vast collection of photographs continued to circulate relentlessly. This book investigates the psychological impact of those photographs on a stunned American audience. Drawing on trauma theory, this book asks whether the prolonged exposure of audience to photographs was cathartic or damaging. It explores how first the collective memory of the event was established in the American psyche and then argues that through repetitive use of the most powerful pictures, the culture industry created a dangerously simple 9/11 metanarrative. At the same time, people began to reclaim and use photography to process their own feelings, most significantly in 'communities' of photographic memorial websites. Such exercises were widely perceived as democratic and an aid to recovery. This book interrogates that assumption, providing a new understanding of how audiences see and process news photography in times of crisis.

Phototherapy Techniques: Exploring the Secrets of Personal Snapshots and Family Albums
by Judy Weiser PhotoTherapy Centre Staff"PhotoTherapy Techniques: Exploring the Secrets of Personal Snapshots and Family Albums" is the most comprehensive introduction to the field of PhotoTherapy available. Emphasizing the "what", "why", and "how" of these practical techniques, this book has long been considered an excellent substitute for a training workshop! <p><p> Written by Canadian psychologist, art therapist, consultant, trainer, and PhotoTherapy pioneer Judy Weiser, this book (now in second edition) explains and demonstrates each of the major techniques involved, and provides theoretical rationale from both psychology and art therapy contexts. It also includes many photo-illustrated client examples, case transcripts, and practical experiential "starter" exercises so that readers can immediately begin using these techniques in their own practice. <p><p> This book is about photography as "personally-symbolic communication", rather than "art" -- exploring what a photograph is about emotionally, in addition to what shows on its surface visually. Thus these techniques require no previous experience with cameras or photographic art -- and they can therefore be used successfully by therapists of all theoretical orientations, work settings, or client specializations. <p><p> Often used as a text for university courses as well as for "Continuing Education" licensing credits for numerous mental health professions, this book is a "must" for not only therapists and counselors, but also anyone interested in coaching, personal development, art therapy, social change, diversity training, conflict resolution, special education, community development, visual literacy, visual anthropology/sociology, visual-based research, and even scrapbooking! <p><p> Though long-considered a "classic" for teaching how to use photos in people-helping work, this book is still even more relevant in this "digital age" of mobile phone pictures and online sharing (because it is about the "heart part" of these images rather than their "art part!"!) -- and thus not at all dependent upon which kind of technology created them! <p><p> *For more information, see her Website "PhotoTherapy & Therapeutic Photography Techniques", at: www.phototherapy-centre.com

Physical Activity Across the Lifespan
by Thomas P. Gullotta Aleta L. MeyerThe statistics are disturbing: steadily rising numbers of sedentary overweight children and obese teens, and a generation looking at a shorter life expectancy than their parents'. But while it may be obvious that physical fitness benefits both the mind and body, a growing research base is supplying evidence of why this is so, and how these benefits may be reproduced in greater numbers. Physical Activity Across the Lifespan makes a clear, scientific case for exercise, sports, and an active lifestyle in preventing illness and establishing lifetime health habits at both the individual and the population levels. The book focuses on key aspects of physical/mental well-being--weight, mood, and self-regulation--and the role of physical activity in public health and school-based interventions targeting these areas. Contributors review definitional and measurement issues salient to understanding what physical activity is, to analyzing benefits of participation, and to implementing effective interventions. Also addressed are limitations of current research, steps needed to continue building the field, and emerging therapeutic possibilities for activity, such as the role of rough and tumble play in preventing ADHD. Included in the coverage: Physical activity, cognition, and school performance. The influence of social and built environments on physical activity in middle-aged and older adults. Preventing and treating obesity through physical activity. Physical activity in preventing drug use and treating chemical dependence. Antidepressant properties of physical activity. Schools as a foundation for physical activity and an active lifestyle. Physical activity as an adjunct or booster to existing interventions. Physical Activity Across the Lifespan is an innovative text for researchers and practitioners in various disciplines including health promotion/disease prevention, child and school psychology, education, health psychology, and public health, as well as program developers and policymakers in these areas.

Physical Activity and Sport as Social Inclusion Tool for Refugees: A Pedagogical Approach (Transdisciplinary Perspectives in Educational Research #10)
by Núria Carrete-Marín Francesc BuscàThis book addresses the social benefits of physical activity and sport in promoting the social and educational inclusion of refugees living in Europe in line with Sustainable Development Goals 4, 10 and 16. It provides a theoretical framework supported by evidence obtained from a case study in the Spanish context. The book demonstrates how universities and formal and non-formal educational institutions, by means of service-learning activities managed by physical and social educators, enable refugees and students to practice physical activity, develop further learning and establish stable social networks. It shows how a pedagogical approach to physical activity can improve relationships between students and refugees and promote inclusion of all. It discusses the value of diversity in education and educational research, as well as transdisciplinarity in new educational and research approaches.

Physical Activity, Physical Fitness and Depression
by Adilson Marques Élvio Rúbio GouveiaThis innovative book, Physical Activity, Physical Fitness and Depression, brings together critical reviews of issues in the relationship between physical activity, fitness, and depression, stimulating individual reflection and including debate on current research, methodologies, and applied practices. This book helps the reader understand the magnitude of depression as a disease that has increased its prevalence in recent decades and the other health problems associated with it. Since psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy are often used to treat depression, this exponentially increases health costs for national health systems. In addition, there are always side effects associated with pharmacotherapy. Therefore, other ways, less expensive and without side effects, for treating depression are important. This book outlines the ways that physical activity and physical fitness are viable options for preventing and treating depression. Designed as a supplementary textbook, Physical Activity, Physical Fitness and Depression is key reading for students and academics alike in the areas of sports science, sport psychology, sports therapy, and psychology, and with its thematic content, the book’s allure extends to professionals, including practitioners, psychologists, psychiatrists, and sports organisations, who stand to gain valuable insights from its contents.
Physical Appearance, Stigma, and Social Behavior: The Ontario Symposium Volume 3 (Psychology Revivals)
by Herman C. Peter Zanna Mark P. Higgins E. ToryOriginally published in 1986, this book grew out of a symposium held in 1981 at the University of Toronto on physical appearance as a determinant of personality and social behavior. There is little doubt that one’s appearance has some impact on the way one is perceived and treated; and presumably, owing to the socially reflected nature of the self, one’s personality likewise will be affected by one’s appearance. The questions arising from these basic observations and assumptions are many, and the expert contributors were invited to discuss their research on some of the implications of individual differences in appearance as they ramify into personality and social interaction. The chapters in this volume are the outcome of those discussions and cover the areas of facial attractiveness; physique; impact on social behavior, and deviance. Still a topic of interest to this day, this book can now be read and enjoyed in its historical context.
Physical Exercise Interventions for Mental Health
by Michelle Riba Lam, Linda C. W. and Riba, Michelle Lam, Linda C. W.Exercise is well known to be beneficial to physical health; however, increasing research indicates that physical exercise is also beneficial to brain health and may alleviate symptoms of mental disorders. This book, written by international experts, describes and explores the theory and practice of exercise intervention for different mental disorders across the life span. Drawing on evidence from basic neuroscience research, and enriched with findings from the latest clinical trials, the work provides clear descriptions of current practice and highlights ways to translate this knowledge into pragmatic advice for use in daily practice. The chapters cover a broad range of conditions including neurodevelopmental disorders, depression, anxiety, psychosis and late life neurocognitive disorders. This book is for mental health clinicians including psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, nurses, as well as internists, paediatricians and geriatricians seeking a comprehensive and individualized approach to treatment.
Physical Health of Adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
by Vee P. Prasher Matthew P. JanickiThis fully revised and expanded second edition brings together findings from research and clinical practice, with comprehensive coverage of the important aspects of physical health in persons with intellectual disability. Professionals involved in the medical and social care and support of persons with intellectual disability should have a broad understanding of the essential range of issues, and therefore this book provides a truly multi-disciplinary perspective, complete with many tables, figures, and illustrations to underline the key points. The reader is updated on ongoing developments in the general population, which will become increasingly more relevant to adults with intellectual disability. This book also acknowledges that the impact on the person and on their carers always needs to be taken into account, with treatment programs established with a multi-faceted team approach in mind. This book is aimed at an international audience of physicians and other allied health personnel concerned about the health and welfare of adults with intellectual disability. It should also be of interest to researchers, administrators, and senior program personnel engaged in this field.
