Gesprächsblockade

German to English Medical Psychology
Die prismatische Spektrenanalyse ermöglicht Leidenszustände und Konflikte sowie Gesprächs- und Lernblockaden kurzfristig aufzulösen. Hierbei wird die gewohnte emotionale Gefühlswelt auf Zeit zurückgelassen, um deutungsfreie Phantasien und beziehungsfreie Gefühle zu entfalten, mit denen sich soziale und kulturelle Resourcen öffnen lassen. Die prismatische Spektrenanalyse wurde in Balintgruppen entwickelt und in unterschiedlichen Berufsgruppen und Anwendungsbereichen erprobt.

Thanks, Steffen. I have complied with your instructions!!!
Steffen Walter Apr 3, 2009:
Agree with you, Anne-Marie - this certainly deserves to be posted as an answer :-)
Anne-Marie Grant (X) Apr 2, 2009:
As the author combines Gespraechs- and Lernblockaden, I'm wondering if s/he means barriers/blocks to speech and learning rather than the specific condition of speech block/aphasia.
RegineMac Apr 2, 2009:
Hat Gespraechsblockage was mit "mutism" zu tun? Es gibt da selective mutism, wo die Person zwar sprechen kann, aber nur mit bestimmten Personen (z.B. Familie) spricht.

barrier/obstacle to speech (and learning)

I think that you need to combine the speech and learning aspects here and say 'barriers/obstacles to speech and learning'.

Speech Block or Aphasia

From a two volume German/English Dictionary of Psychology and Psychiatry, which is sometimes helpful in my work as indexer of German articles on trauma. In this case, I had to look up both words and did get the obvious speech block, which--depending on symptoms--can be an aphasia. Aphasia, though, has the German cognate, Aphasie, so the author chose not to use tht term. I'd stick with "Speech block"

On second thought, "Verbal Impairment" works nicely.
