Reviews for Voice and Communication Therapy with Trans and Non-Binary People: Sharing the Clinical Space

Complementing their previous self-help book for trans people, the same authors have now turned their attention to helping speech and language therapists develop their own skills too, harnessing a wide range of expert knowledge. I had always imagined SLT to be a discipline mainly focused on technique and exercise. What I got from this book, above all, was an understanding that it is a far more holistic process, reaching into the psychological domain and framing identity as the foundation of vocal presentation. -- Christine Burns MBE, Author and Transgender Activist
