Description
Clinical Management of Swallowing Disorders, Sixth Edition is a graduate-level textbook for speech-language pathology programs that examines the diagnosis and treatment of swallowing disorders in children and adults. The text emphasizes evidence-based practices, team management and various treatment options for swallowing disorder, covering topics from early birth to aging populations. Chapters will cover the essential topics and emphasizes the significance of proper assessments and treatments to improve a patient's dysphagia and quality of life. With added full-color images, video examples and case studies, this edition addresses the importance of early intervention and role of speech language pathologists in managing swallowing disorders. The sixth edition provides essential information on dysphagia diagnosis and treatment suitable for students and practicing clinicians. The text has been revised to include involvement in research, teaching, and clinical practice related to swallowing disorders from infancy to aging. Designed to be easily understood, this new edition will serve as a valuable reference for those working in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes, and private outpatient clinics.

Thomas Murry, PhD, CCC-SLP, is Professor and Co-Director of the Voice and Swallowing Center in the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at Loma Linda Health University and Adjunct Professor in the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at Drexel University College of Medicine. Dr. Murry received the Honors of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association in 2010, the highest honor of the association, and also received a Presidential Citation from the American Laryngological Association. Dr. Murry is recognized throughout the world for his clinical, education, and research contributions to voice and swallowing disorders. He has authored over 150 peer-reviewed publications in national and international journals. He has presented over 600 lectures at national meetings and in meetings in more than 35 countries. He has championed the need for combined management of voice and swallowing disorders among otolaryngologists, pulmonologists, and other medical professions.
Karen Chan, PhD, is an Assistant Professor and Director of the Swallowing Research Laboratory at The University of Hong Kong. She received her speech-language pathology training and PhD from The University of Hong Kong. Dr. Chan is an experienced clinician and researcher in the areas of voice and swallowing disorders. Her early research focuses on perceptual voice evaluation and voice training for professional voice users. Her current research interests are in assessment and treatment for motor speech disorders and swallowing problems in elderly, poststroke individuals, and head and neck cancer survivors.
Erin Walsh, MA, CCC-SLP, IBCLC, BCS-S is a senior clinician at the University of California San Diego Health's Center for Voice and Swallowing in the Department of Otolaryngology. She has expertise managing a wide array of complex pediatric and adult dysphagia. Her dual certification as a lactation consultant offers a nuanced perspective for neonatal feeding care. Walsh's research focuses on objective quantification of infant suckling patterns to improve precision of breastfeeding interventions. She collaborates with engineers to develop machine learning patterns that detect anomalies inhibiting successful latching. Her work in dysphonia is uniquely suited for professional performers as she has a background in singing. Walsh additionally collaborates with gastroenterology motility colleagues spearheading novel cognitive-affective interventions for laryngopharyngeal symptoms with and without pathologic reflux.
