Theory and science in communication disorders.

G M Siegel, R J Ingham

    The Journal of Speech and Hearing Disorders
    |May 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary

    Communication disorders is a unique field that benefits from behavioral science theories. This discipline should rationally utilize existing theories for research and therapy, rather than generating its own.

    Area of Science:

    • Speech and Language Pathology
    • Behavioral Science
    • Communication Sciences

    Background:

    • Communication disorders is a distinct scientific discipline focused on understanding and treating communication impairments.
    • The field is inherently linked to broader behavioral science principles and theoretical frameworks.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To discuss the integral role of scientific theory in the field of communication disorders.
    • To argue against the expectation that communication disorders should independently generate its own theories.
    • To explore the rational application of theory in both research and therapeutic practices within the discipline.

    Main Methods:

    • Conceptual analysis of the relationship between theory and the discipline of communication disorders.
    • Discussion of the integration of behavioral science paradigms.
    • Examination of the practical utility of theory in research and clinical intervention.

    Main Results:

    • Communication disorders is a unique discipline but is fundamentally part of behavioral science.
    • It is not appropriate or necessary for the field to generate its own unique theories.
    • Theory significantly contributes to advancements in both research and therapy for communication disorders.

    Conclusions:

    • The discipline of communication disorders should leverage existing theories from behavioral science.
    • Rational utilization of theory is crucial for advancing research and improving therapeutic outcomes.
    • Integrating established theoretical frameworks enhances the scientific rigor and practical application within the field.
