[DYSPHAGIA] question on dysphagia

[herberbe@pilot.msu.edu (Beverly Lynn Herber)]

Hi,
I am currently a second year graduate student and I have  a few questions
that I have came across  at my clinical placement.
    We have been discussing various disorders that we may see as a SLP.  One
that we discussed is a  middle age woman who present with  a voice disorder and
 difficulty swallowing certain item, her main complain being bread.  A MBS  was
done to rule out  dysphagia.  The MBS  showed that her swallow was normal.  Her
voice  problem range form running out of breath to  changes in pitch
form low to excessively high.   It is thought that her problems maybe
psychogenic.  I was wondering if anyone could give me some tips on how to
counsel a patient  of  this nature.

Thank you
Beverly
