A History of Speech - Language Pathology

by Judith Felson Duchan

An understanding of the history behind today's theories helps build a needed reflective stance toward clinical practice. By studying history one unavoidably comes to the humbling conclusion that what goes on now is neither inevitable nor is it impervious to change. A historical perspective helps one realize that while some of today's theories and methods may survive many are likely to be reframed, reworked, or replaced with new approaches that are more in keeping with what happens in the future.
