Anthroposophical Therapeutic Speech

Written for speech therapists and doctors, this book gives a precise, practical summary of anthroposophical Therapeutic Speech. Speech formation, or creative speech, is based on the ancient art of recitation and drama, and was revived and fundamentally redeveloped by Rudolf and Marie Steiner in the early 1920s. The therapeutic work is based on speech exercises and indications on how to use them, which were given by Rudolf Steiner. Includes many tables and diagrams. Barbara Denjean-von Stryk studied anthroposophical speech formation in England and Stuttgart, Germany and under Christa Slezak-Schindler. She teaches speech formation in Germany and Switzerland, and has a practice for therapeutic speech. She is a mother of three children. Dietrich von Bonin works at an art therapy centre in Bern, Switzerland. He teaches therapeutic speech at the Dora Gutbrod School in Switzerland and at the Speech School in East Grinstead, Sussex.
