Important note: Medicine is an ever-changing science undergoing continual development. Research and clinical experience are continually expanding our knowledge, in particular our knowledge of proper treatment and drug therapy. Insofar as this book mentions any dosage or application, readers may rest assured that the authors, editors, and publishers have made every effort to ensure that such references are in accordance with the state of knowledge at the time of production of the book.

Nevertheless, this does not involve, imply, or express any guarantee or responsibility on the part of the publishers in respect to any dosage instructions and forms of applications stated in the book. Every user is requested to examine carefully the manufacturers leaflets accompanying each drug and to check, if necessary in consultation with a physician or specialist, whether the dosage schedules mentioned therein or the contraindications stated by the manufacturers differ from the statements made in the present book. Such examination is particularly important with drugs that are either rarely used or have been newly released on the market. Every dosage schedule or every form of application used is entirely at the user's own risk and responsibility. The authors and publishers request every user to report to the publishers any discrepancies or inaccuracies noticed. If errors in this work are found after publication, errata will be posted at www.thieme.com on the product description page.

Some of the product names, patents, and registered designs referred to in this book are in fact registered trademarks or proprietary names even though specific reference to this fact is not always made in the text. Therefore, the appearance of a name without designation as proprietary is not to be construed as a representation by the publisher that it is in the public domain.

This book, including all parts thereof, is legally protected by copyright. Any use, exploitation, or commercialization outside the narrow limits set by copyright legislation, without the publisher's consent, is illegal and liable to prosecution. This applies in particular to photostat reproduction, copying, mimeographing, preparation of microfilms, and electronic data processing and storage.

Medical speech-language pathology continues to change. This edition of the book, our third, reflects these changes. In 1998, when the first edition was published, we were working together at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan. Since then, we have both moved on. Barbara is now practicing at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and teaching in the Department of Hearing and Speech Sciences at the Vanderbilt Bill Wilkerson Center. Alex has moved to Boston, where he is the Provost (Chief Academic Officer) at the MGH Institute of Health Professions, a graduate school for students in nursing, physical therapy, speech-language pathology, occupational therapy, and physician assistant studies. In addition to a change in address, each of us has had some change in our approach and thinking about medical speech-language pathology.

With these changes in locale and setting, we continue to learn, to reflect, and to expand our concept. Some of the changes are reflected in this edition of the book. New chapters have been added on the important issue of education in medical speech-language pathology, differential diagnosis of adult language disorders, brain injury in children and adolescents, and end-of-life communication and swallowing issues. Each of these chapters brings new authors to the discussion and brings new viewpoints on important aspects of care. All of the continuing chapters have been updated with new concepts and references. Our goal is that these contributions will help to improve the care that the readers provide in their various practice settings.
