The Voice and Voice Therapy, Seventh Edition, text boasts the most up-to-date facilitation techniques and the best tested clinical stimulation approaches available today.

Evaluation procedures are then presented with some emphasis given to particular evaluation strategies for identified causal areas. The smooth transition between these areas reinforces student understanding. Disorders not often addressed-including sulcus vocalis, muscle tension dysphonia, and paradoxial vocal fold dysfunction-are also covered in this text.Facilitating approaches presented in table form detail when a particular approach is useful, list the sequence of therapy steps for that approach, and illustrate the outcome by presenting the approach with a particular patient. These therapy approaches are also illustrated on the DVD, making the therapy process come alive.
