Speech Disturbances of Organic and Functional Genesis and Their Therapy

Speech disturbances usually appear as one of the syndromes or symptoms of a pathological process which, as a rule, occurs in a neurological or psychosomatic context. The problems of speech pathology, especially of organic genesis, can only be solved if the mechanism of the underlying illness is taken into account. This indicates a close connection between speech disturbances and other medical problems, which are topics in defectology, psychology, and neurolinguistics.
