This book takes a practical approach on how best to set about establishing the effectiveness of treatment for voice disordered patients. The book is aimed at the practising voice clinician who is interested in the effectiveness of treatment. Most therapy techniques have not been properly evaluated and clinicians have a professional responsibilty to establish evidence of treatment effectiveness.
