A revolutionary resource in speech and language therapy!

This unique handbook addresses the lack of Turkish-language resources in Speech and Language Therapy (SLT) and Audiology in Turkey, focusing on clinical counseling, crisis management, and positive psychology applications! Written by expert SLTs, this work offers scientifically based practical approaches to enable therapists and SLT students to provide the most effective psychological support to both clients and their families during sessions.

Leaving aside traditional "illness and pathology"-focused psychology models, this book integrates a modern approach to health and positive psychology into SLT practices, focusing on the strengths and psychological resilience of clients and families rather than their weaknesses.

Key Features and Chapter Contents of the Book:

• Positive Psychology and the PERMA Model at DKT: Teaches how to apply the Positive Emotion, Attachment, Relationships, Meaning, and Success (PERMA) perspective in clinical sessions to improve the quality of life for clients and families.
• Crisis Management and Grief Processes: This includes strategies for managing the shock, awareness, withdrawal, and acceptance phases that families go through when a child is diagnosed with a sudden stroke (aphasia), traumatic brain injury (TBI), or a disability.
• Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG) and Second Wave Positive Psychology: These approaches address, with scientific evidence, how clients can readjust to life after catastrophic changes and traumas.
• Lifelong Clinical Counseling: Offers age- and disorder-specific customized communication strategies for professionals working with children, adolescents, and adults (with Aphasia, Dementia, PPA, PPoA).
• Clinical Communication and "Silent" Skills: Includes practical exercises to develop technical and social skills that directly impact clinical success, such as effective listening, empathy, affirmation, impartiality, and the art of change.

• Speech and Language Therapists (SLTs) and Audiologists
• DKT Department Students, Academics and Interns
• Special education specialists and healthcare professionals working in rehabilitation centers

Don't miss this academic and practical handbook that fills a significant gap in the literature on speech and language therapy in Türkiye, and take your clinical skills to the next level!
