Understanding Voice Problems: A Physiological Perspective For Diagnosis And Treatment (Understanding Voice Problems: Phys Persp/ Diag & Treatment)

Understanding Voice Problems: A Physiological Perspective for Diagnosis and Treatment emphasizes the physiological perspective of voice disorders—and the behavioral and emotional factors that can influence these changes. Readers will find a strong foundation in normal phonatory physiology and acoustics as well as pathophysiology arising from voice misuse, abuse, or neurological involvement. Coverage includes in-depth explorations of patient interviewing, history-taking, examination, and testing and discussions of pediatric and geriatric voice considerations. The book contains numerous illustrations, including full-color plates of vocal fold pathologies. A companion website features nearly 30 video clips that demonstrate healthy, normally functioning larynges at work, plus larynges with various pathological problems.

I really liked this book when I took my Voice class in Graduate school for Speech Pathology. It is easier to read than most books. We also bought Voice Therapy for Case Studies to go with it and I liked it as well to help put everything in perspective!

This is a phenomenal resource for voice teachers and speech pathologists. I would caution you that this a very technical book, so background in vocal pedagogy/scientific voice study is a must if this book is going to be useful for you.

Encyclopedic in its content and organization. Prosaic in its style and readability. Hard covered, sturdily bound, with waxed pages.(And btw, I'm just another SLP graduate student)

Very happy with the book, thanks

Yes good condition

thank you!!!

This text contains a lot of good information, but I dislike how it is organized. The writing could be made more clear, as well; I know it is a textbook, but it seems like it would not be too difficult to make the information less dry.

Some chapters in this textbook are not edited as well as others. In some chapters (6 in particular), the syntactical mistakes are quite distracting and detract from the subject matter presented.
