The Management of Voice Disorders

Loss of voice can arise from several causes, including injury and stroke, and is a distressing condition. The ideal treatment is in a multi-disciplinary voice clinic, staffed by otolaryngologists, speech pathologists and speech therapists. This book comes from just such a team at the Vancouver General Hospital, who are one of the best known clinics in the world. The book is divided into various sections and provides a comprehensive coverage of evaluation, classification and management. Separate chapters are devoted to problems specific to children and to the elderly. The numerous specially commissioned drawings are a real feature of the book. The book should be of interest to otolaryngologists, speech therapists, speech pathologists, singing teachers and voice coaches.
