Clinical Voice Pathology: Theory and Management

 A classic work, now in its sixth edition, Clinical Voice Pathology: Theory and Management is a compilation of the authors' vast clinical and research experiences  and addresses a considerable range of voice disorders in various  populations and from various etiologies including medical,  environmental, social, psychological, occupational, and idiopathic  threats to vocal health. The text continues to be organized for the  graduate speech-language pathology student and instructor, building the  foundational knowledge necessary to evaluate and treat voice disorders  including history and common causes of voice disorders, anatomy and  physiology of voice production, pathologies of the vocal mechanism, and  an extensive array of evaluation and management approaches. In addition,  the text continues to provide background in caring for the professional  voice and those patients presenting with head and neck cancers.
