About The Book
Counseling in the field of communication disorders is an essential dimension of professional practice, but just what it entails is often a bit of a mystery. Counseling in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology: Reconstructing Personal Narratives, Second Edition addresses this common concern of students and practitioners by illustrating how to integrate the concept of counseling into clinical practice. Replete with a variety of case studies, clinical guidelines, and actual transcripts of counseling interventions with clients and their families, as well as a practical “toolbox” of specific counseling techniques, this graduate-level textbook offers a comprehensive, novel, and empirically informed approach to counseling, applicable to a broad range of speech, language, swallowing, and hearing disorders.
New to the Second Edition
- 10 new chapters on the nature of change, critical thinking, culturally informed care, and preparing for the counseling relationship.
- A new case illustration and three new “tools”.

From the Foreword
“The text clearly presents the necessary theoretical underpinning for the relationship between counseling and our technical interactions with clients and disabuses us of the notion that these processes are separate. In addition, the learner comes away with a variety of means to apply the theory in practice such that the client can understand and value their progress. The authors challenge us to use our technical expertise to create welcome change that our clients accept without struggle. They remind us that collaborations in the therapeutic relationship are less about what we say and do and more about how we listen. Teachers, learners, and professionals can all find immense value in this well-written empirical and practical work. It is an extraordinary and valuable tool for the next generation of clinician counselors.”
