Karpova. [Introduction: Family group psychotherapy of speech communication disorders: stuttering research]

Abstract:
[This monograph systematically summarizes the new fundamental and applied scientific and practical research and the own author's experience of family group logopsychotherapy for severe logoneurosis, from preschool age to 45 years, - a total of 50 groups. Conceptually, speech neurosis in form of stuttering can be considered as variant of neurotic personality development. This approach helps to understand the internal dynamics of the process of verbal communication, in normal conditions and in case of violations, and so to comprehensively investigate the phenomenon of stuttering and to formulate the general principles of organizing the process for socio-rehabilitation.]
