FREE YOUR VOICE - Voice and Psyche: psychogenic voice disorders
Psychogenic voice disorders are distinguished from other vocal dysfunction by the fact that, though the symptoms or secondary characteristics are physical or 'organic', the origins of the problem are psychological rather than physical.
Dysfunction in one's voice, with the attendant heightened problems of communication, reactions of rejection or embarassment in others at the sound of one's voice, can lead to further distress, frustration and depression, as well as a sense of isolation, compounding the emotional problems which led to the original voice disorder.

Conversion voice disorders: (a sub-category of psychogenic voice disorder) any loss of voluntary control of the voice as a consequence of environmental stress or interpersonal conflict - characterised by the 'simulation' of a voice illness without organic damage actually being present (and therefore distinct from musculoskeletal tension disorders, or disorders exhibiting nodules or contact ulcers).
To advise anything but the briefest voice rest to a person with a voice disorder reinforces their mistaken belief that they cannot phonate, and can lead to a secondary voice disorder through nonuse of the muscles of phonation.
Musculoskeletal tension disorders: This is a family of disorders associated with excessive musculoskeletal tension originating in emotional stress, and showing principally as hypercontraction of muscles in and around the larynx (leading to its elevation).

 LINGUIST List 4.357: Language Disorders in Linguistics?
A recent item in the LINGUIST List (Vol-4-312) stated (in part) that: > The Department of Languages, Literatures and Linguistics [at York > University, North York, Ontario, Canada] invites > applications for a[n] appointment > at the rank of Assistant Professor or Lecturer in Linguistics > (rank dependent on qualifications)...
As director of an undergraduate linguistics program that has historically attracted a large number of students with an interest in speech/language pathology, I was struck by the inclusion of "language disorders" among the areas of desired expertise for what is otherwise (except perhaps for the "second language acquisition" item) a hard-core academic linguistics opening.
If the terms "neurolinguistics" or "language and the brain" were substituted for "language disorders", the job description would be unproblematic, but as it is this item implies (for me) a clinical orientation that is incompatible with the rest of the description.
