All medical speech-language pathologists should own this book. It is very detailed, yet it's a succinct, easy read. This book came in great condition and will forever be in my library. Highly recommended.

This book is so practical for anyone who wants to work as a speech language pathologist in the medical field.There are a lot practical units that are not found in other text books. If you are looking for a book to own to helpyou as a new clinician this would be it!

the book is good , but I would like that the book has more questions at the final each chapter. Is only my opinion, maybe for another persons is well.

Thanks .com for yet another successful textbook purchase! This book arrived brand new in the plastic wrapping in a very timely fashion AND cost less than it would have at my University's book store. This book's straightforward text and multiple case examples make it a great addition to any SLP student's library.
