Intended for a graduate text in voice pathology, this book follows the logical learning sequence, systematically developing the knowledge bases required for a thorough understanding of the subject. The evolution of treatment of voice disorders is addressed with a historical perspective that allows the student to trace how voice problems were perceived, understood, and treated through decades of advancement up to the 21st century. The text covers anatomy and physiology, etiological correlates, and pathologies of the laryngeal mechanism. To aid in learning how to work with voice disordered patients, a well-defined, goal-oriented, diagnostic voice evaluation process is included. A detailed survey of voice therapies presents five philosophical orientations and the specific therapies under each, and is supplemented by case studies which bring alive the approaches presented. Special sections address care of the professional voice and the laryngectomized population.

Organizational Issues,

This review is from: Clinical Voice Pathology: Theory and Management (Paperback)
This text is required for my graduate level voice disorders class for Speech Pathology. After reading the text, I found that it was poorly organized and difficult to read. This book does not provide a glossary and never defines many technical terms. I found myself reading the text with a dictionary open. I also found it odd that some of the voice techniques were randomly embedded in case studies. For example, the proper way to shout is located under a case study on phonotrauma in children. I believe that something as important as a vocal technique should at least get its own heading.

This review is from: Clinical Voice Pathology: Theory and Management (Paperback)
This book covers the topic of voice disorders very well, however I don't believe the organization within the chapters is very well done.
