Characterization of the national periodical publications integrating speech language and hearing sciences with psychology: a longitudinal survey

Abstract

This article characterizes the national periodical publications in Speech Language and Hearing Sciences which integrate with the Psychology. Longitudinal survey was conducted between the years 2004 to 2014 in all electronic journals of the Speech Language and Hearing Sciences. 2724 productions were evaluated, of which 153 (5,6%) studies correlate the two areas, especially original articles in the specialties of Language and Voice. The largest production occurred in 2010, with a tendency to decrease in this production. Thus, movements are required to resume the publication of studies with interface between Speech Language and Hearing Sciences and Psychology in order to subsidize the professionals in action with the mental health public policies.
