Communication Sciences & Disorders

The best-selling voice text with the most complete voice treatment material in the field has a new look and a new sound, with a new DVD that brings voice problems and therapy to life for students.

The Voice and Voice Therapy, Seventh Edition, text boasts the most up-to-date facilitation techniques and the best tested clinical stimulation approaches available today. The new companion DVD illustrates voice problems in children and adults, as well as methods of relevant therapy, enabling students to see and hear what they are reading about.

The Seventh Edition divides voice disorders into three causal areas (functional, organic, and neurogenic) with a separate chapter devoted to each area. Evaluation procedures are then presented with some emphasis given to particular evaluation strategies for identified causal areas. The smooth transition between these areas reinforces student understanding. Disorders not often addressed—including sulcus vocalis, muscle tension dysphonia, and paradoxial vocal fold dysfunction—are also covered in this text.

Facilitating approaches presented in table form detail when a particular approach is useful, list the sequence of therapy steps for that approach, and illustrate the outcome by presenting the approach with a particular patient. These therapy approaches are also illustrated on the DVD, making the therapy process come alive.

• The specific management/therapy steps show students and clinicians what to do in voice therapy (Chs. 6-8).

• Evaluation combined with therapy encourages blending of diagnostic findings into voice management and therapy (Chs. 4-7).

• A full chapter on neurogenic voice disorders consolidates information in one place for student and clinician reference (Ch. 3).

• TECHNOLOGY ADVANTAGE—A new DVD, packaged FREE with every text, illustrates the Seventh Edition, allowing students to see and hear voice evaluation and therapy.

• More references and literature citations throughout keep the text current with the latest research.

• New and revised sections on respiratory disorders and therapies carefully describe and incorporate new literature on working with children with asthma and paradoxical vocal fold disorders.

• Four chapters pay increased attention to childrens voice problems, giving students an appreciation for learning voice therapy services for patients of all ages

All chapters conclude with “Summary.”
