Abstract

This article defines communication and describes its various disorders. Some of these disorders are associated with other DSM-IV conditions, such as mental retardation or pervasive developmental disorder. Others are specific to the language-learning process. The interactions between communication and psychiatric disorders are discussed. Suggestions for integrating treating approaches among communication disorders and mental health professionals are presented.
