Publisher's Synopsis
This is the first book ever on the subject. Chronic Cough affects millions, but cannot be remedied by pharmacology. This absolutely fantastic book is a complete 'how to' for speech pathologists training sufferers how to manage their disorder and to maintain a healthy voice as well as dealing with other psychosocial issues that will inevitably accompany the problem. Issues are covered practically and logically, advice is given on when to intervene and when to refer on to other specialists, what to look out for and what to avoid, and much more. A major selling point and worth the price of the book alone are eleven appendices, with reproducible forms and handouts, enabling clinicians to accurately assess and guage client needs and plan their rehabilitation.
