Massively expanded to 106 chapters in three volumes, and fully revised throughout, the third edition of Professional Voice: the Science and Art of Clinical Care provides a practical understanding of most specialized aspects of clinical care of professional voice users in particular, as well as most of the information necessary to provide state of the art diagnosis and treatment for any patient with a voice disorder. In a single, convenient source it gives most of the information a voice care professional or performer might want to know about voice care.

While written primarily for physicians, this comprehensive work is also designed to be used by (and written in language accessible to) speech-language pathologists, voice teachers, performers and others involved in the care and maintenance of the human voice. Indeed, even the most sophisticated basic science chapters provide enough introductory information to render them accessible to readers without a science background.
