ABSTRACT

The contributors have provided fascinating stories and clinical discussions based on their various theoretical orientations. Before considering particular issues, we offer this general description of a You Said What? response:

Hearing about a statement, action, or directive that is far enough from a listener’s expectation or usual way of operating that the listener thinks, or even says aloud, “You Said What?” (or some variant thereof, e.g., “Wow – how’d you think of that!” or “Far out!” or “Really – what happened?”).
