Understanding Voice Problems: A Physiological Perspective For Diagnosis And Treatment

by Raymond H. Colton, Janina K. Casper, Rebecca Leonard

Now in its Third Edition, this book emphasizes the physiological perspective of voice disorders—and the behavioral and emotional factors that can influence these changes. Readers will find a strong foundation in normal phonatory physiology and acoustics as well as pathophysiology arising from voice misuse, abuse, or neurological involvement. Coverage includes in-depth explorations of patient interviewing, history-taking, examination, and testing and discussions of pediatric and geriatric voice considerations. The book contains numerous illustrations, including full-color plates of vocal fold pathologies. A bonus DVD features 20 video clips that demonstrate healthy, normally functioning larynges at work, plus larynges with various pathological problems.

An excellent, in-depth overview of all things Voice disorders! For SLPs, the best chapter I believe is chapter 10. A good resource!
