Book description
Praise for the previous edition:
Should be a part of every voice therapist's
library.--American Journal of Otolaryngology
The fourth edition of Clinical Voice Disorders
is an up-to-date, practical reference for the management of voice
disorders caused by structural and neurologic etiologies, as well as
psychogenic disorders. The book provides a solid foundation for
understanding the relationship between biology and clinical assessment;
how neuromechanism relates to disorders; and the complex nature of
behavioral voice disorders and treatment. An expanded collection of
clinical case studies provides the valuable opportunity to work through
real-life examples of frequently encountered problems. New to this
edition is a DVD-ROM with videos that provide a window into clinical
interviewing, enabling viewers to observe Dr. Aronson's techniques and
approaches to therapy. Additional chapters on the DVD-ROM present the
evolution and embryology of the larynx and respiratory system, covering
vital respiration, respiration for speech, and the anatomy and
physiology of phonation. Demonstrations of vocal fold vibratory
patterns, stroboscopic examples of various pathologies, and audio
samples of dysarthric voices enable clinicians to apply concepts
presented in the text. Highlights:
Detailed presentation of the voice examination
Evidence-based approaches that guide the reader through decision
making and to the confident selection of treatments and therapies
New chapter presenting the special considerations for treating the
professional singer
In-depth coverage of the laryngeal and respiratory anatomy and
physiology--topics frequently omitted in textbooks on voice disorders
Nearly 200 photographs and illustrations demonstrating key concepts
Ideal for students in graduate-level speech-language pathology programs
and clinicians treating patients with voice disorders, this multimedia
resource is indispensable for mastering the philosophy and clinical
management for the full range of clinical voice pathologies.
