This book is a cornerstone for any Speech Language Pathologist. All of the hospital placements that I am aware of have this book on the required readings list. It provides a good description and discussion of motor speech disorders and includes research findings. Beware; the text does get dry and tedious at times.
Best book for motor speech disorders. November 1, 2006

Duffy presents a comprehensive and cogent overview of motor speech disorders using the 'Mayo' classification system. This book is intellectually satisfying and a scholarly work of the highest order. The revision only improves on the first edition. A classic.

This book contains a lot of information for the beginning/intermediate learner of motor speech disorders. However, is not very easy to read. It can be dry and more wordy than need be.
solid reference for beginning speech language pathologists January 3, 1999
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
duffy provides a solid and straight-forward depiction of the more prevalent motor speech disorders. the most important function of the text is to provide a solid foundation in differential diagnosis. most of the dysarthrias that present themselves are of the mixed variety and duffy provides the reader the essential tools necessary in recognizing the signs and symptoms. clinical experience needs to provide the rest. the neurological sections were presented from a different perspective than what i had grown accostomed to in my studies, but a different approach was appreciated.
