Diagnostic and Treatment in Voice Therapy

This book outlines modern multidimensional-quantitative methods in voice diagnosis grounded in EBM evidence and proposes a minimum standard for voice diagnostics. Recent scientific findings provide speech-language pathologists, voice therapists, and otolaryngologists with new opportunities for the medical and therapeutic care of voice patients. Voice diagnostics and treatments for diverse voice disorders can be better integrated to apply structured clinical reasoning in voice treatment.
