JOURNAL OF THE  SOUTH  AFRICAN LOGOPEDIC SOCIETY September 

E D I T O R I A L 
In  this issue an attempt  has been made  to cover some of  the so-called 

"physical"  types of  speech defect. 

Greater  emphasis is being placed  on a wholistic  approach to these problems, 
where the individual  is treated  as a whole and  all  his needs,  not merely  his handi-
cap, are taken  into account. It  is generally  considered  that,  where doctors  and 
medical  auxiliaries  work  together  as a team, a fuller  picture of  the individual's 
needs  is obtained,  and  a more comprehensive therapy programme  can be planned. 

Drs. Jacobson  and  Dreyer in their article  on cleft  palate  have stressed  the 
need  for  teamwork  in this field,  while Mrs.  Vorwerg  has shown how it is being 
employed  in cenles for  the Cerebral  Palsied  throughout  the world. 

Mrs.  Bauman, too, shows the need  for  considering  the patient's  psychologi-
cal reactions to his handicap,  as well  as the actual  teaching  of  speech and  voice to 
the laryngectomee. 

This  edition  therefore,  indicates  the need  for  the speech therapist  to relate 
her work  to that  of  other workers  in the field  of  rehabilitation.
