Each of the three units of the book: basic sciences, clinical assessment, and management, provides a wealth of current and relevant information on the science of communication processes and voice disorders. The multi-contributor approach to this book provides a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to the characteristics of voice disorders, diagnostic procedures and techniques, and treatment models. Over sixty contributors lend a hand in conveying the complexities of the science of the human voice. In the third edition, the contributors from the second edition provide readers with fully revised and updated chapters.
