Understanding Voice Problems: A Physiological Perspective for Diagnosis and Treatment

by Raymond H. Colton, Minoru Hirano, Janina K. Casper

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 companion Website features nearly 30 video clips that demonstrate healthy, normally functioning larynges at work, plus larynges with various pathological problems"--Provided by publisher.

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