Description

This book falls into three distinct sections. The first provides an outline of the structure and function of a voice clinic, a review of the structure and function of the vocal tract and an outline of the most common forms of voice disorder likely to be encountered in a clinic. The second part provides brief descriptions of the various forms of therapy available for the treatment of non-cancerous voice disorder and suggests appropriate treatment modalities. The third part of the book is based entirely in science and contains an overview of the instrumentation available for the investigation and documentation of voicing.

The book is intended for laryngologists with an interest in voice but little or no experience in running a voice clinic; for speech and language therapists – especially those who have not previously worked together with professionals from other therapeutic modalities in an integrated team; for teachers of singing and voice coaches who might wish to work in such an environment where a pedagogic pursuit of excellence can be reinforced by a sound basic approach to what may be happening when a voice seems to be failing; and practitioners of manipulative therapies who want to base their therapy on better understanding of the mechanics of an efficiently working vocal tract.
