Abstract
Background: There are psychological aspects of all voices. Thus voice disorders may be of psychogenic background. All voice disorders can have a psychological element whether as a result or as a cause. It is uncertain whether personality and psychological problems lead to particular voice disorder, or that voice disorder contributes to psychological problems and personality effects.
Aims/Objectives: to determine the psychological correlates of non-organic (functional) voice disorders and MAPLs.
Material and Methods: (study group) consisted of 100 patients with a change of voice and not diagnosed with any previous psychological disorder. They was compared to another group (control group) which included 50 individuals with no change of voice. Each individual of both groups were subjected to full voice evaluation protocol, The Voice Handicap index and psychological evaluation with (Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, Symptom Chick List 90-Revised and Toronto Alexithymia Scale-20)
Results: the psychological problems plays a role in the dynamics of the voice problems. The recognition of such psychological effects may contribute to more adequate diagnosis and therapy of patients with persisting voice.
Conclusions and Significance: the personality and psychological domains may be part of the clinical profile for a subset of patients with non-organic voice disorders and MAPLS.
