Includes 200+ audio and/or audio-video cases illustrating the range and variety of voice- and upper-airway related disorders, as well as techniques employed in their assessment and management!

Clinical Voice Pathology: Theory and Management, a classic text now in its seventh edition, is a comprehensive resource that addresses the history, anatomy, physiology, etiologies, pathologies, and contemporary issues related to the assessment and management of the voice and related disorders. While continuing to provide the graduate speech-language pathology student with the knowledge necessary to evaluate and treat an impressive array of voice disorders, the text now includes two new chapters that focus on the expanding role of the speech-language pathologist in (1) upper airway disorders (including chronic refractory cough as well as inducible- and exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction), and (2) gender-affirming voice and communication training. With a foundation rooted in science, combined with the vast clinical and research expertise of the authors, students and practicing clinicians will be equipped with the knowledge necessary to effectively assess and manage not only a wide range of voice and upper airway disorders, but also individuals who seek gender-affirming voice care.

Individuals with diverse voice and airway related issues, such as professional voice users, performers, patients with laryngeal cancer, or who are tracheostomy and ventilator-dependent are often complex and demand a clinician who possesses an extraordinary depth and breadth of knowledge. To facilitate the acquisition of this knowledge, this text offers a wealth of visual aids, including artwork, case studies, and a companion website with extensive audiovisual instructional materials. These features not only maintain the high standards set by previous editions but further enhance the learning experience.

New to the Seventh Edition

• A new chapter describing the SLP's roles and responsibilities in the assessment and management of upper airway disorders including chronic refractory cough (CRC), inducible laryngeal obstruction (ILO) and exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction (EILO).
• A new chapter on gender-affirming voice and communication training for transgender and gender-diverse individuals including approaches to gender-affirming health care.
• Additional extensive audio and video examples of clinical cases and related treatment outcomes.
• Instructional "how-to" videos demonstrating important procedural aspects of assessment (eg, focal laryngeal palpation, voice stimulability testing) and specific evidence-based voice therapies including manual laryngeal reposturing, circumlaryngeal massage, vocal function exercises, and resonant voice therapy.
• Continued focus on enhancements to instruction and learning, including use of "Call-Out" boxes to highlight cases and encourage additional discussion.
• Updated references throughout the text to reflect the current state of clinical research and practice.
