Summary: " The updated edition of this classic is essential for all practitioners and advanced students. The editors artfully synthesize the pathology of voice, speech, language, cognitive, and swallowing disorders with practical guidance. Insightful viewpoints and viable solutions are provided for patient management issues including neurological and physical challenges, surgical implications, and medical ethics, in the context of the continuum of health care settings. The underlying causes of communication and swallowing impairments are explored in detail, along with respective treatment modalities. Starting with an overview of key considerations, the latest evidence-based science is presented throughout 22 chapters. Topics include differential diagnosis of adult communication and swallowing disorders, assessment and management approaches, and diagnostic tools such as imaging and endoscopy. New chapters are devoted to: Motor speech disorders Education for medical speech-language pathologists Aphasia Pediatric traumatic brain injury End of life communication and swallowing disorders"-- Provided by publisher.Summary: "This text represents a culmination of the state of the art practice in medical speech pathology. The contributors are professionals at the forefront of clinical practice and research who have written chapters that serve as statements of evidence based practice. Physicians provide background chapters that highlight the foundation of clinical knowledge for SLPs. In addition to the 'content' sections, there are chapters that address issues of interest to practicing clinicians such as interprofessional collaboration, achieving competencies, and clinical education. This text is unique in the field of SLP as it is geared toward practicing clinicians; it aggregates knowledge that directly applies to the practicing clinician. In addition, there are academic programs in the US that have courses and/or specialty tracks that are designed to prepare students for this field - technically focused, with close collaboration with other medical professionals"-- Provided by publisher.
