      Cet ouvrage s'inscrit dans une série de 4 tomes, intitulés La voix, s'adressant à tous ceux qui se préoccupent des problèmes vocaux, qu'il s'agisse de voix pathologique en quête d'un diagnostic et d'un traitement ou de voix normale en quête d'une meilleure pratique de la parole ou du chant. Le tome 2 est consacré aux troubles fonctionnels de la voix et aux mécanismes si complexes de leur constitution. Il étudie systématiquement les divers types de dysphonies, qu'elles soient dites simples, c'est-à-dire sans complication laryngée, ou au contraire compliquées (nodules, polypes, œdèmes, ulcères…), ou de formes particulières (aphonies, dysodie, troubles de la mue…). Les descriptions cliniques s'appuient sur l'étude de plusieurs centaines d'observations. Dans chaque cas, les indications thérapeutiques sont précisées. Destiné aux orthophonistes, aux phoniatres et aux pédagogues de la voix parlée et chantée, il s'adresse aussi aux professionnels de la voix désireux de s'informer d'une façon approfondie. Il sera également utile aux étudiants en médecine et en particulier aux futurs spécialistes ORL et se révélera vite indispensable au laryngologiste intéressé par les problèmes phoniatriques.
