It has been argued that personality, emotions, and psychological problems
contribute to or are primary causes of voice disorders and that voice
disorders in turn create psychological problems and personality effects.
This article (a) briefly reviews the literature surrounding the role of
psychological and personality processes in individuals with function
dysphonia (FD), vocal nodules (VN), and spasmodic dysphonia (SD); (b)
provides an overview of recent concepts in personality and trait structure;
and (c) summarizes the fundamental tenets of a
theoretical synthesis proposed by Roy and Bless (2000) to explain dispositional
based of FD and VN. This theory links FD and VN to the signal sensitivities
and behavioral response biases of neurotic introverts and neurotic
extroverts, respectively. In a companion article, the merits of the Roy and
Bless theory are evaluated.

This article presents an overview of the normal anatomy and physiology of
the pediatric larynx, followed by some examples of pediatric voice disorders
that were chosen to exemplify the alterations to the laryngeal anatomy and
the subsequent modifications to laryngeal function. Vocal fold nodules are
primarily reviewed due to their high incidence in the pediatric population.
Three other disorders, including laryngeal hyperfunction, unilateral vocal
fold paralysis, are discussed because of their more common occurrence and
the uniqueness of their etiology and intervention, particularly for the case
of bilateral abductor vocal fold paralysis.
