Psychosocial Perspectives on the Management of Voice Disorders: Implications for Patients and Clients. Options and Strategies for Clinicians

Jan Baker's book is exhaustive. An Australian, from Finders University, her work is respected around the world and she is a regular speaker in the UK, Europe and USA - and has been asked to contribute and speak on issues far beyond the human voice as a result. Her book reads like a dream: practical, pragmatic, logical, comprehensive, and authoritative. Psychosocial issues affect voice users every bit as much as those who carry physical scars. Your voice is your personality and changes, whether physical or otherwise, have a dramatic and often extremely negative effect on personality and psyche. Baker takes the reader through all scenarios imaginable and offers therapy options and advice based on years of expertise in the subject. An amazing piece of clinical and academic work.
