Résumé

This essay is about the development, transmission, and use of new categories of diagnosis among speech therapists in Quebec’s hospitals and rehabilitation centres. From the view- point of the history of professions, the author emphasizes the driving role of clinicians’ local initiatives and professional aspirations in this process. The author starts with a brief overview of speech therapists’ professional situation in the early 1980s, then describes the emergence of a new category of neurological troubles, and, finally, analyzes the character- istics of its spread in clinical practice after 1986. By doing this, the author hopes to raise awareness about the study of the circulation of concepts in clinical settings.
