How does the brain build language and what happens when it breaks down? Using aphasia as a window into language, this accessible book explores speech, meaning, brain injury, recovery, neuroimaging, and computational models of language processing. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-95848-0

In Proceedings of the VIII Congresso Internacional de Dialetologia e Sociolinguística (CIDS 2026) , Santiago de Compostela, Spain, pp. 130-131. Abstract and oral presentation available from https://sweet.ua.pt/lmtj/lmtj/JesusPaivaMoutinho2026.htm

This presentation aims to introduce a cognitive-behavioural approach to understanding and working with low self-esteem.

Low self-esteem is associated with a range of psychological and physical health difficulties, including issues relevant to voice disorders and vocal performance.

👨‍🏫Dr Luke Aldridge-Waddon will first define low self-esteem before discussing psychological factors relevant to its development and maintenance. He will review existing research which characterises low self-esteem as a commonly reported experience across voice use and voice disorder groups, with some suggestions for how this might then be approached within a voice clinic and voice coaching context.

🔹Especially valuable to those:

1. experiencing or working with people who experience low self-esteem in the context of voice difficulties or vocal health challenges

2. interested in increasing their familiarity with cognitive-behavioural concepts related to voice use

✨This short course aims to provide a balance between theory and practical application, including suggestions for the use of cognitive-behavioural skills relevant to self-esteem in voice rehabilitation and vocal coaching✨
