Inhaltsangabe

Written primarily for speech and language therapy students, this book provides information, ideas, case illustrations and concepts which aim to help those making the transition from student to qualified clinician. The authors argue that the only way to be ready to face the demands of professional practice and life-long learning is to acquire a thorough understanding of the process and practice of clinical work. The book focuses on how students can apply what they have learned to bridge the gap between theory and therapy as they begin their professional practice. While demonstrating and explaining techniques such as ways of administering assessments, ways of interacting and ways of shaping and reinforcing behaviours are useful and essential, the appropriate and successful use of such methods must depend on a whole wealth of awareness, knowledge, attitudes and behaviours. This book aims to convey both the prerequisite skills and aptitude, and the understanding of the scope of speech and therapy practice needed to perform successfully as a speech and language therapy clinician.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Written for speech and language therapy students, this book will help those making the transition from student to qualified clinician. Clinical process is about the methods and actions that are used to effect positive change in the communication functioning of people. Students commonly yearn to be told what to do when faced with a clinical problem. While demonstrating and explaining techniques such as ways of administering assessments, ways of interacting, and ways of shaping and reinforcing behaviours are useful and essential, the appropriate and successful use of such methods must depend on a whole wealth of awareness, knowledge, attitudes and behaviours. Professional practice is about the context in which clinicians work, the people with whom they work, and their standards, attitudes and behaviours.
