The work has undergone a major rewriting by the two authors. New material has been added to cover the latest developments in the field, including the perceptual and instrumental assessment of dysphonia. Remediation procedures for voice disorders are discussed extensively, and the case studies have been expanded. Packed with information, this text is a key work on the subject for practitioners and students.
