Summary

This text is filled with case studies describing specific voice therapy techniques, written by the "who's who" of voice disorders. Through interesting case study formats, readers are guided through the nuances of management techniques for a wide variety of voice disorders including vocal hyperfunction in children and adults, psychogenic voice problems, neurogenic disorders, disorders unique to the professional voice, and special disorders such as treatment of Gastroesophaggeal Reflux Disease, paradoxical vocal fold movement, and transsexual voice. The completeness of the management descriptions makes this an excellent guide for students as well as clinicians in their clinical practice.
