Publisher's Synopsis
Voice Rehabilitation: Testing Hypotheses and Reframing Therapy offers a patient-centered, hypothesis-driven framework for clinicians beginning to practice voice rehabilitation as well as practicing clinicians who continue to develop their skills. This valuable resource integrates motor learning theory with the physiological underpinnings of voice production to make the rehabilitation process more accessible and cohesive. Dialogues between the patient and the clinician interwoven with the voice clinician's internal monologue provide insight into the active clinical reasoning process. A review of the etiologies and physiological changes associated with frequently diagnosed laryngeal pathologies provides a useful reference.
