This text is highly recommended. It was specifically written for therapists and is quite easily readable.

This is an essential text for the practitioner interested in specializing in vestibular rehabilitation.

This text is a nice adjunct to Herdman's text (above). It is a nice overview on the general management of vestibular disorders. I found the text to be organized efficiently and quite readable.

This book comprehensively reviews diagnostic testing and management options. It is an ideal text for an audiologist responsible for administration and interpretation of vestibular testing in a laboratory type setting.
Editors R. John Leigh, MD and David Zee MD
This is a detailed text providing valuable information on abnormal eye movement and their clinical significance. This is an area where novice therapists struggle as this is not covered in detail in most curriculum. I would recommend reading this text after reviewing Vestibular Rehabilitation by Susan Herdman (see above). This text is a challenging read.
