About Aphasia: A Clinical Perspective
Product Description An up-to-date, integrated analysis of the language disturbances associated with brain pathology, this book examines the different types of aphasia combining two clinical approaches: the neurological and the neuropsychological. Although they stress the clinical aspects of aphasia syndromes, they also review assessment techniques, linguistic analyses, problems of aphasia classification, and frequently occurring related disorders such as alexia, agraphia, alcalculia, and anomia. In addition, they examine commonly encountered speech disorders, neurobehavioral and psychiatric problems commonly associated with aphasia, and the language characteristics of aging and dementia. Rehabilitation and recovery are discussed, and a neural basis for aphasia and related problems is proposed. Neuropsychologists, neurologists, speech therapists, psychiatrists, and occupational therapists will find this book invaluable when dealing with language disorders resulting from brain disease or injury. Review "The first comprehensive overview of clinical approaches to aphasia since the influential book by Albert et al., Clinical Aspects of Dysphasia, appeared more than 15 years ago."―The New England Journal of Medicine "Will provide the interested professional with an excellent reference for understanding the neuroanatomy and symptomatology of aphasia and related disorders.... This book provides a well-documented explanation of the relationship of changes in neuroanatomy and physiology to changes in neuropsychological behaviors....The text is clearly written with excellent illustrative material. Rating: Five Stars."―Barbaranne J. Benjamin, Ph.D., University of Toledo, Doody's Journal About the Author D. Frank Benson, M.D., is Augustus S.
