G. Paul Moore Lecture: Unifying the Disciplines of Our Voice Smorgasbord G. Paul Moore Lecture: Unifying the Disciplines of Our Voice Smorgasbord Daniel R. Boone Tucson, Arizona Summary: A look at the many disciplines working with voice over the past 50 years is provided from the perspective of a speech-language pathologist (SLP). Some of the earliest collaborations between medicine and speech-language pathology were seen in the management of cleft palate and velopharyngeal inadequacy problems and observed, also, in laryngectomee rehabilitation. The earlier concern of the SLP for the emotional and psychological aspects of patients with voice disorders appeared replaced with the rise of symptomatic therapy. Dramatic improvement in instrumentation assisted by computer analyses increased our awareness and understanding of both normal and disordered phonation. Although instrumentation today allows for many forms of visual feedback in voice training and therapy, this may be often at the expense of providing needed kinesthetic-proprioceptive and auditory feedback. Particular voice therapy approaches (cognitive, gestalt-holistic, imagery, resonant therapy, muscle training, and symptomatic therapy) used today are described. Suggestions are given for improving educational requirements and clinical experience in voice for SLPs. Key Words: Voice Disciplines—Collaboration—Instrumentation—Feedback— Therapy—Training.

  • Spacing Freud: Space and Place in Psychoanalytic Theory
    Spacing Freud: Space and Place in Psychoanalytic Theory by Nicholas Dion A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department for the Study of Religion University of Toronto © Copyright by Nicholas Dion 2012 Spacing Freud: Space and Place in Psychoanalytic Theory Nicholas Dion Doctor of Philosophy Centre for the Study of Religion University of Toronto 2012 Abstract This project is interested in developing a spatial reading of Sigmund Freud’s work to understand how psychoanalysis employs a variety of different spatial categories. Proceeding by way of a close and analytical reading of Freud’s texts, I begin by surveying theories of space coming from both philosophy and geography before applying these understandings to consider Freud’s use of topographical metaphors, the formation of the subject as presented through descriptions of the fort-da game and the oceanic feeling, and Freud’s description of the limits of phantasy and reality. Freud’s writings on religion figure prominently here. I conclude by examining the deployment of individual relations through social space in Freud’s writings and the link between place and character laid out in Moses and Monotheism. The result demonstrates the importance of space in a number of aspects of Freudian psychoanalysis and frames Freud as a thinker with important contributions to make to the spatial turn in the humanities and social sciences. ii Acknowledgments Before beginning, I want to take a moment to thank the many parties whose participation made this project possible. Fittingly, this project is a tale of two ‘places’, of Montreal and Toronto.

Poprvé představeno v němčině na konferenci IAVMT v Stiermark, Rakousko v roce 2009. Překlad: Sebastiana Markéta Black Edice: Zbyněk Ludvík Gordon © Říjen 2013 Voice Movement Therapy a Krása odvážného výrazu : Krátký úvod do Historie a účelu VMT Jakřekl Alexander Lowen, zakladatel Bioenergetics v polovině 20. století: “Pouze naše vlastní omezení v nás vytváří smutek, hněv a strach. Pokud chceme změnit náš character (a já bych dodala, změnit návyky těla, duše a hlasu, které nás omezují) nestačí o citech jen mluvit, musí být prožity a vyjádřeny.” (Alexander Lowen, Fear of Life- Strach ze života) Lidský hlasodráží jaktělesné, tak psychické stavy a je schopný propojit kognitivní význam semočním vyjádřením. Je to náš prvotní nástroj v komunikaci jak myšlenek, tak citů a je schopný nás dojmout slovy či beze slov. Je to jediný nástroj, kde „hráč“ a „hrané“ jsou součástí stejné organické formy a může tedy dosáhnout svého plného výrazu, když je pevně integrován v těle. Hlas má dva hlavní komunikační kanály. Prvním jsou mluvená slova; symboly, které používáme kesdělení našich myšlenek. Druhým jezpůsob, kterým slova říkáme; tóny a kvality hlasu vyjadřující emoce a pocity, zatím co mluvíme, nebo zpíváme. At‘ už pracujeme s naším vlastním hlasem, se zpěváky, nebo jinými umělci, s klienty v psychoterapii, nebo s jedinci, kteří prožívají překážky v komunikaci spojené s vývojovou vadou nebo úrazem, změna bude nevyhnutelnou součástí tohoto procesu. Ať už bylanaše schopnostvyjádření sezpěvem či mluvou narušena díky problémům apodmínkám vdětství, či zdůvodu traumat z dospělejšího věku, je to právě prozkoumání těchto problémů včetně toho, co bylo vytěsněno zvědomí, které nás posune kvytouženému plnějšímu a hlubšímu výrazu a kvalitnější komunikaci následně vyjádřené v písni a příběhu.

G. Jung, Sigmund Freud, and Viktor Frankl, along with insights from cognitive, developmental and behavioral psychology, toward an understanding of the human psyche (soul) and its role in the history of the Bible and biblical interpretation. It will examine biblical stories (from Adam and Eve to the Wedding at Cana), biblical religious experience (dreams, visions, conversion, speaking in tongues) and biblical portraits (Ezekiel, Paul, Moses, and Jesus). It will also study the transaction between biblical texts and readers, noting therapeutic and pathogenic effects. Activities include sessions with Walter Wink’s “transforming Bible study.” “Everything to do with religion, everything it is and asserts, touches the human soul so closely that psychology least of all can afford to overlook it.” - C. G. Jung “The fate of the world is determined by what happens in the human soul.” - Hans Carossa “We do not yet grasp what historical forces brought forth and determined early Christianity. But beside and within this external history there is an inner history . Anyone who thinks that this religion can be illumined historically and factually without psychological reflection is just as much in error as one who pretends that everything about this religion can be said in this fashion.” -Gerd Theissen “.
