This article deals with the interpretation of post-laryngectomy therapy within the framework of communication. The communication approach towards rehabilitation emphasizes the necessity of incorporating verbal communication and non-verbal communication into the diagnostic and therapy procedures because of the close link between the two modes of communication. Diagnosis and therapy are discussed in terms of communication skills, social and personal sensitivity and tension. Throughout the article, the stress is on the therapist's creative role in the laryngectomy patient's construction of reality.
