Hi Elle-
It's exceedingly archaic, as it did not seem to prove of much use. I've never used it with a client, and have only seen it demonstrated "in person" once. The idea for the Tautophone, ironically, came from BF Skinner (!?).
It is basically a record player-type thing that plays conversations between 2 people. They sound like you are listening to them from the next room...*almost* understandable, but not quite. The psychologist asks you to repeat what you think the people were saying.
The best way to describe it, I think, is as an audio-Rorschach. Soundblots, if you will :-).
I will let you know if I find out more!
