'J'HE first  Summer School held by the South African  Logopedic Society in 

September was a pronounced success. The course dealt with "Dysaudia," 
and there is no doubt that the bringing together of  Audiologists, Teachers 
of  the Deaf,  Audiometrists, Ear, Nose and Throat Specialists, Speech 
Therapists, and others bore fruitful  results in terms of  discussion and exchange 
of  ideas. 

Although we are unable, through lack of  space, to print, the Summer 
School papers in this Journal, roneoed copies will be made available to those 
members who attended the Course and to others on application. 

We are fortunate,  however, in having an article in this issue by one of 
the speakers at the Summer School, Dr. Haynes. It is rare that one is able 
to present an article by an Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist who has also 
made an intensive study of  Audiometries. 

The paper "The Relation Between Speech Therapy and Psychotherapy" 
by Joan Philips is .likely to provoke comment. It certainly seems necessary to 
clarify  the limitations of  the speech therapist a s far  a s psychological treatment 
is concerned. 

In "Speech Recording in Stuttering Therapy" by Erica Stern, a beginning 
is made of  potentially important research. It is hoped that Miss Stern and 
others will continue to work in this field  to our mutual benefit. 

Finally, it is our real privilege to have amongst our contributors Dr. M. 
K. Wright. A little while' a g o Dr. Wright expressed the rather revolutionary 
opinion that Speech Therapists should be in a position to teach the Neurolo-
gists how to classify  Aphasia. 

The present article is a culmination of  an idea first  thought of  in 1949. 
It is a great stride towards a sounder and more useful  analysis of  l a n g u a g e 
disorders.
