First published almost 17 years ago and in demand throughout,
Evaluating Voice Therapy: Measuring the Effectiveness of
Treatment was one of the first books to address the need for a
robust evidence base for the treatment of functional voice
disorders.
Now re-titled, and with a team of expert collaborators, this
second edition addresses the major advances in the evaluation of
treatment of a range of voice disorders. The book is almost doubled
in size and still retains the practical appeal and hands-on value
of its predecessor. The book is organized so that voice clinicians
and researchers will be able to quickly locate and understand the
evidence base for specific client groups. A number of core chapters
are retained and re-written and there are five major chapters that
identify, summarise and critically appraise the
literature pertaining to voice therapy efficacy for functional
voice disorders, vocal nodules, organic voice disorders, unilateral
vocal fold paralysis and voice disorders related to Parkinson's
Disease.
'This remarkable book serves several purposes. It presents
evidence upon which treating therapists may formulate session plans
with maximal cost efficacy, while pointing the way to evaluation of
the relevant outcomes, in the context of what is already known...
[it] offers a comprehensive toolkit: literature appraisal; skills
acquisition; highlights of key existing papers; and benchmarks
against which to assess one's own practice.'
From the Foreword by Janet A Wilson, B.Sc., MD, FRCS(Ed),
FRCS(Eng), FRCSLT(Hon)
'...an invaluable resource.... It provides an extremely logical
and coherent approach to this topic [and it] provides a wealth of
clearly presented information about the current state of the
evidence for voice therapy effectiveness...'
From the Foreword by Robert E. Hillman, Ph.D.
'Voice therapy has come of age, and this book, as well as clearly
laying out ways of treatment and research, is a wonderful
celebration of this moment in time. I know both serious and casual
readers will quickly join the party'.
From the Foreword by Martin Birchall, FRCS.

Vocal fold scar remains one of the most demanding and, in some
ways, frustrating challenges of laryngology and voice therapy.
Treatments for this complex condition are inconsistent and often
produce suboptimal results. Yet, while hopes for full recovery
remain slim, surgical methods and improving technologies, along
with improved therapy techniques, have combined to yield better and
better outcomes; and further advances are on the horizon. In this
new book, Drs Moore and Sataloff have collaborated with world
leaders in laryngology and speech-language pathology to compile the
latest information on the pathophysiology of vocal fold scar,
treatments, procedures and, importantly, look at the promising
directions in research. The authors introduce the various causes
and sequelae of scar, examine anatomy and pathophysiology, and take
the reader through diagnostic procedures. Thereafter, they review
pre-operative therapy options and providing practical guidance on
surgical methods including medialization, techniques for freeing
the epithelium, management of sulcus, grafting, and the use of
lasers.The book discusses tissue engineering and newer treatment
options, including epidermal growth factor (EGF) and transforming
growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta1). The book summarises the state of
the art in diagnosis and treatment of vocal fold scar and should be
valuable for any clinician who cares for the patient with this
vexing problem.
