Incorporating a counseling paradigm has been shown to increase
motivation, deepen learning, and sustain progress for clients and
families. Counseling in Communication Disorders, is an engaging
textbook, written in a genuine and lively tone, so that the reader
may easily relate to the material. The text provides a practical
vehicle for speech-language pathology students, clinicians,
clinical supervisors, and instructors to get to know themselves
better and to integrate basic counselling attitudes and tools into
their diagnostic and therapeutic programs. The authors describe the
importance of addressing a client's communication challenges by
working with the whole person, as a human being, not as a
communication disorder. By approaching clients with a counselling
attitude that encourages the client's full participation in the
treatment process, they then work together in partnership and as a
powerful team. The content, techniques, and exercises within the
book are rooted in evidence-based practice from a variety of
psychological, counselling, and coaching approaches, such as
Humanistic Counselling, Listening and Language, Narrative Therapy,
The Cognitive Behavioural Model (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief
Therapy (SFBT), Positive Psychology, Neurolinguistic Programming
(NLP), and Mindfulness training. Counseling in Communication
Disorders also includes reflective questions, exercises, and
suggestions to reinforce important concepts. To bring the content
to life, real-life and clinical scenarios are interspersed
throughout the text. It is well understood that speech-language
pathology and audiology clinicians must understand deep listening
and how to choose words that will have a positive impact on their
client and families, but often overlooked is the personal
development of the clinicians themselves. This is a comprehensive
guide on how to provide the necessary support and encouragement to
clients and build self-esteem, while a major focus is the need for
the clinicians to work on self before working on other. This is the
first textbook of its kind to comprehensively cover both sides of
the therapeutic relationship. Students and clinicians alike will
appreciate this unique approach that addresses not only the
counseling attitude that is vital to the growth and progress of
clients, but also the self-awareness that guides the personal
development of the clinician. Instructors in educational settings
