• Trans and non-binary people deserve quality, affirmative and
culturally sensitive which is offered in all voice services, not
only in specialist clinics. • The tidal wave in referrals of
trans and non-binary people to gender services including voice and
communication therapy has created a training crisis – the book
will help to address this. • Speech and language therapists need
an easy way in to the field, as this is a very politicised field,
and SLTs are often afraid to begin – this book will enable them
to start and develop their journey • There is little client
community collaboration in health care literature – this book
provides stimulation and an appreciation of the real stories and
advice from trans and non-binary people • In general, cisgender
people, such as most SLTs find themselves to be, require supportive
guidance in understanding gender identity and expression, and it is
very rewarding for SLTS to have a deeper understanding of our
systemic identities – this book facilitates this understanding.

Written by two specialist speech and language therapists, this book
explains how voice and communication therapy can help transgender
and non-binary people to find their authentic voice. It gives a
thorough account of the process, from understanding the vocal
mechanism through to assimilating new vocal skills and new vocal
identity into everyday situations, and includes exercises to change
pitch, resonance and intonation. Each chapter features insider
accounts from trans and gender diverse individuals who have
explored or are exploring voice and communication related to their
gender expression, describing key aspects of their experience of
creating and maintaining a voice that feels true to them. This
guide is an essential, comprehensive source for trans and
non-binary individuals who are interested in working towards
achieving a different, more authentic voice, and will be a valuable
resource for speech and language therapists/pathologists, voice
coaches and healthcare professionals.
Specifically aimed at Speech and Language Therapists (SLTs) and
voice practitioners, this book follows up from the authors' first
book, The Voice Book for Trans and Non-Binary People. It sets out
cultural competence, psychological and vocal skills, group
activities and improvisations frameworks and exercises to helps
SLTs develop their skills for working with trans and non-binary
clients, including facilitation and coaching, emotional
intelligence, role-play and solution-focused therapy, narrative
therapy practices. It also includes many contributions from the
trans community and a range of clinical professionals to emphasise
the collaborative space. Written by two leading authorities on
voice and communication therapy for trans people, this is an
essential and authoritative resource for anyone working with trans
and non-binary clients who are seeking their voice exploration.
In this new collection essays, Matthew Stevenson weaves together a
historical tapestry of the last hundred years. From the
battlefields of Gallipoli and those around Armenia, to Cold War
Washington and modern Beirut, he has written a compelling, yet
often humorous and always accessible account of persons and places
encountered in his travels.
In these essays, Stevenson, with wit and insight, describes
crossing Poland by bicycle, the countries of former Yugoslavia,
visiting the battlefields of Okinawa, and Albania's brave new world
(?the province of pyramid schemes and stolen cars?). He explores
the myths of Omaha Beach and Steven Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan
(?a war movie by a guy who has seen a lot of war movies?). When in
New York after September 11, he recalls his earlier visits to Asian
battlefields (?the skeletal frame of the Trade Center evokes the
dome at Hiroshima?)
This book attempts to prove that in several key areas, the
Religious Right is getting it wrong. These areas include support
for the following: giant corporations, war and hawkish foreign
policy, Israel, and a misplaced patriotism that can lead to
idolatry. But rather than arguing from a liberal or anti-Christian
viewpoint, the author quotes hundreds of scriptures throughout the
book. Every chapter is based on a foundation of either what the
Bible tells us to expect, or what it tells us to believe on certain
issues. With hundreds of footnotes documenting numerous sources,
this book explains how well-meaning people have been largely led
astray by the media, the influences of this world, and incorrect
explanations of scripture.
