Riassunto

Over the years, thousands of books have been written and hundreds of films have been made, in which all kinds of illnesses, disorders and disabilities play an important role. Medical problems have a major impact on daily functioning and on quality of life of each of us. In line with this, speech, language and hearing problems are also frequently the subject of books, films and theater performances. This book offers a selection, with the necessary critical remarks and comments, of what has been published and released in this area. Fiction and non-fiction books, children's and youth books, as well as films and theater performances are discussed. The way in which people with communication problems are perceived in these popular media is also an important issue of our book. We treat, consecutively, aphasia, locked-in syndrome, dysarthria/anarthria, stuttering, mutism and deafness/hearing impairment. A number of "other" speech and language disorders such as cleft lip and palate, developmental language disorders, childhood apraxia of speech and voice problems are discussed in the final chapter.
