Written primarily for speech and language therapy students, this book provides information, ideas, case illustrations and concepts which aim to help those making the transition from student to qualified clinician.

This second edition of Speech and Language Clinical Process and Practice incorporates a wealth of new information and up-to-date terminology to take account of the numerous changes that are taking place in the way speech and language therapists work. Standards of service delivery and clinical competencies necessary for practice are now more firmly established while the registration of the profession under the auspices of the Health Professions Council has led to clearer specifications of the knowledge, skills and attitudes required of the practicing clinician.

Retaining the traditional concepts that underpin decision making, planning and choice of activities this authoritative text discusses the philosophies that underlie the choice of working practices and will prove an invaluable aid to those with a professional interest in speech and language therapy.
