Reviews

This work is an exceptional compendium of insights and opinions provided by voice experts from around the world. It provides a unique vision of current concepts in voice care and research, as well as guidance on questions that require future study. Robert T. Sataloff, M.D., Drexel University College of Medicine, USA Modern approaches to voice rehabilitation are founded on research and theory, but they are tempered by and delivered in different cultural ecologies, meet varying needs, and are supported by different resources. We all have much to learn from our global neighbors, and this collection helps us to do so. R. J. Baken, New York Medical College, USA I heartily congratulate Dr. Yiu for having the foresight and determination to produce International Perspectives on Voice Disorders. This unique collection of reports from around the world fills a critical need as voice patients travel more freely between countries seeking care, and international collaboration in voice research continues to grow. Robert E. Hillman, Harvard Medical School & MGH Institute of Health Professions, USA
