Review:

Since the first edition of this book, the purpose of the text remains the same: to provide both the student and the working clinician with a broad sampling of management strategies as presented by master voice clinicians . Over 70 voice specialists have contributed cases to this book, mostly American, apart from the BVA s own Sara Harris, who describes using the Accent Method with a patient... The joy of this book is having the privilege of voice specialists sharing details of their clinical work, including very specific information on frequency, duration and content of therapy, with exact instructions given by the therapist. I would highly recommend this book for all clinicians working in voice, from student to advanced practitioner, as it demonstrates very clearly both the science and the art of voice therapy in a very practical way. --Moira E.
