Mary Moody, MA, CCC-SLP, George Washington University, Doody's Review Service: "This book provides a sound basis of current knowledge and treatment for the transgender/transsexual client population. It is a much-needed reference that includes the diverse aspects of the approach to treatment and serves well as the vanguard in this field...The approach is thorough, taking into consideration the whole client: medically, psychologically, linguistically, pragmatically, vocally. I know of no other book in the field that approaches this topic so thoroughly and completely...An excellent and much needed validating breakthrough."--------------------Barbara L. Blagnys, Norwich Primary Care Trust: "This book represents a most useful resource for therapists working with this small, but complex client group. It provides a highly comprehensive approach to all aspects of therapy starting with a thorough examination of evidence-based practice principals to voice therapy, whilst acknowledging that the evidence for the effectiveness of voice therapy is generally weak. Although the authors have aimed the book at therapists who have developed some competencies in working with the TS/TG client, it is an excellent tool for those developing an interest in this field. The psychosocial and psychotherapy chapters consider in detail the social and psychological issues and how they interact with therapy. Standards of care and Treatment plans provide appropriate and achievable therapy goals with aspects of pitch, intonation, rate, volume, syntax, pragmatics and semantics being supported with useful graded therapy exercises. The chapter on Nonverbal Communication, Assessment and Training is a particularly valuable resource. The accompanying CD demonstrates useful therapy examples. Overall this book represents excellent value for money and although written with an American perspective, provides the therapist with a framework to plan effective treatment. [Refers to the First Edition]" Doody Enterprises, Inc., (--): "* * * * * Five stars from Doody's Review Service! [First Edition]" ENT News, (September/October 2006): "I am delighted to see this new publication, the first extensive clinical guide to voice and communication therapy for transgender / transsexual (TG/TS) clients - This book is well written and easily accessible - An abundance of treatment techniques and protocols make this a highly useful clinical resource. [Refers to First Edition]"
