We see two main areas in speech disorders: receptive language skills and expressive language skills
. One of the most basic human needs
is the need to communicate and connect with other people. When this
fails, many psychological problems arise. We express many complex issues in life
verbally. We convey needs, desires and
emotions through language. Here, there is a motor activity and a cognitive
process.
When we look at the problems accompanying speech disorders, it is seen that situations such as anxiety, fear,
phobia, social phobia, withdrawal and depression are common
/> we see. Anger, low self-perception, regression in social skills
and social adaptation problems are common.
Stuttering is the most common speech disorder in society.
Forty-five million people around the world experience stuttering.
There are startles, pauses, extensions, bursts and repetitions in speech sounds, syllable words or
sentences with the anxiety of stuttering again. Prolongation of sounds, exclamations,
breaking up of words, audible or silent blocks,
saying words with excessive tension, or repetitions of monosyllabic words are common
Someone who stutters what they want to say Involuntary
repetition, interruption or disruption of the rhythm of the voice is observed despite knowing the sound. It usually occurs between the ages of two
and five years, and rarely in adolescence. Sometimes, it can occur suddenly after
traumatic events. It has a higher rate of
in those who have stuttering in their family. The incidence rate in men is
higher than in women. Women's power of expression is higher than men.

while imitating.

Frequent violence. practice and frightening behaviors increase the risk rate in this
direction in children. Sometimes this can be temporary if the child's distorted and confused
speech is ignored. But when the parents try to make an effort to correct
the situation by forcing and oppressing the proper
speech, they focus the child's attention on the speech
and the stuttering increases and settles. Anxiety and
pressure may develop and cause this situation to continue.
Over time, people begin to avoid situations where they should talk.
They only make friends with those who accept them, and take care not to be outside of familiar environments

from authority figures, avoid talking on the phone, and experience social isolation.

during the language development period of children. In this case, parents act impatiently or compare
with other children and ask or even force them to talk as soon as possible. They compare their own children with children who speak early
and speak fluently, and in some cases they compete with them.
Because of anticipatory anxiety in the autonomic nervous system in stuttering, both the pathological nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system are activated at the same time
. According to the psychoanalytic approach, stuttering is seen as an unconscious pleasure. Unresolved oral erotic
in infancy is seen as an act of satisfying needs.

Our brain presents our thoughts expressed through language as two separate messages
. The first message is forward-looking, the second is reverse-closed, and it is fed by unconscious processes. Freud likens this to the symbolic
expression in dreams. These slips have symbolic meanings
. Here, the semantic error appears as a sound error or a semantic and sound error
. It is a situation that a person actually believes in his mind, but keeps
. A transformation mechanism is at work
