Written by leading specialists in voice, this book captures the science and art of clinical voice. A necessary book for every graduate student in the field of speech language pathology, this text provides a level of detail needed to assess and treat those with voice disorders. Supplemented with case studies and video examples relevant to the study of clinical voice pathology, this edition provides supplemental material for the educator as well as pragmatic tools for the student and clinician.

For the second edition, the authors provide up-to-date information on vocal fold anatomy and physiology, including contributions on vocal fold biology. With new discussion on voice therapy trends and drug treatments, Sapienza and Ruddy s text offers the student current educational information. Additionally, the new edition provides a contemporary discussion of head and neck cancer, including new statistics, comprehensive information on safety for the laryngectomy, and more details to guide the reader in understanding alaryngeal communication modes, particularly with TEP. Information on human papilloma virus and detail about robotics surgery in the head and neck population are also included. The included DVD has new sections on vocal pathologies, including discussion of autoimmune diseases, new laryngeal image color plates, and 30 new laryngeal exams.

An accompanying workbook, sold separately, is an excellent supplement, allowing students to review chapter material and quiz themselves in an efficient manner.

Review:
This is an exceptionally informative book.... An excellent resource of current information on the assessment and management of patients with dysphonia... A must read for graduate students in speech-language pathology. [Refers to First Edition] --Bernard Rousseau, PhD, CCC-SLP (Vanderbilt University School of Medicine), Doody's Review Service, (2009)

This new edition continues to target the student audience. The chapter order flows well and starting with the anatomy and physiology of the respiratory system is extremely important for a book on voice disorders. It covers the respiratory system in detail, explaining the use of specific tests and examinations. This is important for students to learn because speech and language therapy is developing further into the respiratory sector...The additional workbook is a great revision guide. Having a mixture of multiple choice and paragraph answers is great practice as the same structure is used during the anatomy/physiology exam. --Siobhan Lillie, Senior Specialist SLT, Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists Bulletin, (July 2013)
