Treatment of Hysterical Aphonia with Hypnosis and Prokaletic Therapy

A patient with chronic refractory hysterical aphonia was treated by prokalesis (challenge) and hypnosis within a psychotherapeutic relationship. A temporary remission was achieved but this was followed by subsequent relapse. This report illustrates the therapeutic effectiveness of prokaletic techniques. It also emphasises that these potent interventions are unlikely to achieve abiding change unless they are applied within the context of a longer-term relationship with a clinical team.

Visual feedback of vocal intensity in the treatment of hysterical aphonia

This case report describes the successful though temporary removal of a hysterical aphonic symptom in a 49-year-old male patient by using visual feedback of changes in vocal intensity. Following symptom removal the patient experienced considerable emotional distress due to a number of factors. His aphonia returned and has proven resistant to subsequent intervention. At a 1-year follow-up his condition was found to be unchanged. The case is discussed in relation to the common controversy over the wisdom of symptomatic treatment for hysterical reactions, and a practical means of resolving the disagreement is considered.

Hysterical Aphonia: A Case Report

Abstract Out-patient hypnotherapy was used to treat a 55-year-old female who had suffered hysterical aphonia for a year. There were eight sessions at weekly intervals. An age regression was done to ascertain the etiology of the aphonia in order to treat the cause so as to prevent symptom substitution. Speech modeling, assertive training and ego strengthening suggestions were also used. At the end of seven sessions the patient was speaking normally. The eighth and final session merely provided reinforcers for maintenance. Carry-over effects were noted over the subsequent year.

Use of the Lombard Response in Cases of Hysterical Aphonia

Lombard is best known for his work on the effect of noise on vocal intensity. In 1917, he applied this concept to the treatment of hysterical aphonia and described the procedure he used in a military publication. He suggested that a masking noise will interfere with the auditory monitoring system sufficiently that the patient will not be aware he has regained use of phonation. Removal of the noise from the patient's ears confirms the return of phonation, and the aphonia disappears. Credit is given to Lombard for this pioneering effort, and suggestions for present-day clinical use are made.

DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF ELECTIVE MUTISM IN CHILDREN

Periodically, children are seen in psychiatric facilities who refuse to speak in school and to strangers, but who can and do speak to certain specific people, usually one or both parents, and sometimes peers. Nearly always, these children speak to their siblings. Elective mutism is the diagnosic term that we have applied to this behavior. This definition excludes all other forms of mutism, including hearing loss, schizophrenia, hysterical aphonia, and aphasia. The children with elective mutism are characteristically immature; most of them have average or above average intelligence and do not seem to suffer from any organic disorder.

The application of modern learning theory to the treatment of chronic hysterical aphonia

A 10-year-old boy with a functional reading deficit (i.e. functional alexia) was successfully treated with hospital based escape/avoidance procedures. A multiple baseline design was used to evaluate the effectiveness of treatment. Generalization of treatment effects across individuals, settings and time was demonstrated. Extension of these procedures to other functional deficits is discussed.

DYSPHEMIA AND DYSPHONIA: CARDINAL FEATURES OF THREE TYPES OF FUNCTIONAL SYNDROME: STUTTERING, APHONIA AND FALSETTO (MALE)

The conditions of dysphemia and dysphonia which I am about to discuss, although definitely dissimilar in their clinical aspects, are similar in other aspects. For example, all these conditions—stuttering, hysterical aphonia and paraphonia (falsetto voice)—indicate individual biologic inadequacies, that is, basic constitutional or organic inferiorities. Furthermore, the etiology, or the more immediate origin of the symptomatology, is psychologic, while the expression is physiologic. The conduct, affects, attitudes and productions of these patients lead one to conclude that their psychologic functioning is unique in many important respects. Their subjective sense of values differs from that of the average person. Hence, their reactions are both qualitatively and quantitatively different. These differences strike one frequently as differences in emotional threshold, special psychosomatic dispositions serving as the foundation for deviations in emotional attitudes in later years. As far as physique is concerned, there is no difference between a person suffering from stuttering and one

BILATERAL PARALYSIS OF THE ADDUCTORS OF THE VOCAL CORDS OF ORGANIC ORIGIN: REPORT OF A CASE OF LANDRY'S PARALYSIS

The synonyms for bilateral paralysis of the adductors of the vocal cords are functional aphonia and hysterical aphonia, designating its functional origin. The present case is of interest as the bilateral paralysis of the adductors appears to be of definite organic origin. The case is unusual in another respect, in that it belongs to the class of cases described by Landry, and yet complete recovery followed. REPORT OF CASE M. B., a white woman, aged 29, was admitted to the obstetric service of the New Haven Hospital, complaining of vomiting and loss of weight. Seven weeks previously she had begun to vomit. Her family physician told her that she was three months pregnant, even though her periods had been regular. The last period had occurred one month before admission. Twelve days before admission the patient attempted an abortion, and bled for a week. Following this, the vomiting became more

APHONIA FROM GOITER

Loss of voice is a rare condition when it is caused by pressure of the thyroid gland. R. C. Coffey¹does not remember having had a case of aphonia which was relieved by the removal of a goiter. G. W. Crile¹says: "About 4 per cent of our cases show a unilateral paralysis and often present some difficulty in speech but usually are thoroughly compensated. With the exception of malignant cases I have never had a case with complete loss of voice. The functional side of such a case must of course, be considered. A laryngoscopic examination would clear up this point." E. S. Judd¹cannot recall a case of this sort except one or two in which there was a hysterical aphonia which was relieved by operation; these, however, showed no definite paralysis of the cords on laryngoscopic examination. <h3>REPORT OF CASE</h3> A white man, aged
