[Psychological tasks in phoniatry (author's transl)].

Multidiscipline roles in diagnostics and therapy of speech and voice disorders of childhood are practised by the otorhinolaryngologist, the psychologist and the logopedist. The psychologist in the phoniatric practise had additional tasks which include preparing the patient for the examination, consultation and prevention. As a contribution to the differential diagnosis, psychological examination of a patient's intelligence and the level of his learned vocabulary are necessary. The psychodiagnostics of cerebral dysfunctions are of great importance and are discussed in depth in studying language disorders of childhood.
