Editorial 
Ύ^ΗΕΝ writing about speech therapy, as about any therapy, both the 

etiological and therapeutic aspects of speech disorders must be taken 
into account. 

We are pleased to print in this issue of the Journal, articles which lay 

different stresses on these various aspects of speech and hearing defects. 

Miss Aron, who has recently returned from the United States and 

Canada, stresses the therapeutic aspect of stuttering in her article, with 

particular reference to certain aspects of psychotherapy implicit in stutter-

ing therapy. 

The relationship between stuttering therapy and psychotherapy, in this 

case, learning psychotherapy,, is indicated by Miss Marks in her article, and 

she also discusses the theoretical implications of considering stuttering as 

one aspect of the learning situation. 

One of the leading educationalists in this country is Dr. Behr,. .who has 

specialised in the problems of the deaf and hard-of-hearing child in this 

country and over-seas. We welcome his contribution "Understanding the 

Hard-of-Hearing Child," as being of great interest and value to speech 

therapists, and to teachers and parents of the aurally handicapped child. 

The two articles which describe case histories (in the case of Miss 

Whiting—diagnosis, and in the case of Mrs. Lubinsky, therapy) indicate 

the advance of practical work done in speech therapy in South Africa, and 

further contributions along these lines would be welcomed for the Journal.
