Abstract
As a clinical experiment we attempted to reshape for our needs current psychotherapeutic approaches based upon existentialism. Drawing material from case studies of aphasic, laryngectomized and hard of hearing patients, specific examples are cited to support judgements of positive and negative results in therapy which appear to be directly related to the existential process. The philosophical history of the present existential school in psychotherapy is outlined briefly in order to clarify the rationale for the selective use of the existential point of view in speech therapy. Criteria are summarized for a decision to adopt existential methods with particular patients. Possible pitfalls contingent upon such a decision are also delineated.
