This book demonstrates how students can apply what they have learned to bridge the gap between theory and therapy as they begin their professional practice. The authors argue that the only way to be ready to face the demands of professional practice and life-long learning is to acquire a thorough understanding of the process and practice of clinical work. Fully revised, this second edition The authors emphasize the need to have a sound knowledge of what the profession is and who it encompasses; the awareness of the concepts that underpin decision-making, planning and choice of activities; and understanding of the philosophies that drive the choice of working practices.

This second edition of Speech and Language: Clinical Process and Practice incorporates a wealth of new information and up-to-date terminology to take account of the numerous changes that are taking place in the way speech and language therapists work. Standards of service delivery and clinical competencies necessary for practice are now more firmly established while the registration of the profession under the auspices of the Health Professions Council has led to clearer specifications of the knowledge, skills and attitudes required of the practicing clinician.
Retaining the traditional concepts that underpin decision making, planning and choice of activities this authoritative text discusses the philosophies that underlie the choice of working practices and will prove an invaluable aid to those with a professional interest in speech and language therapy.
