Self-Determination Theory Applications in Culturally Responsive Voice Therapy
What is it about?
SDT is a macrotheory of human motivation and personality supported by over 4 decades of empirical research that focuses on innate, universal psychological processes and needs. The primary aim of this clinical focus article is to propose the application of SDT as an evidence-based framework to guide clinicians in the provision of culturally responsive voice care.
Why is it important?
Voice is a cultural construct directly linked to identity. Given the degree of cultural diversity that exists, clinicians cannot be expected to comprehend the intricacies of every culture in their patient population. This observation emphasizes the necessity of a universal approach. Research suggests that selfdetermination theory (SDT) can serve this purpose.
