Beschreibung

This book presents a collection of cutting edge work from leading researchers and clinicians around the world on a range of topics within Clinical Aphasiology. However, more than this, the volume is also a tribute to Chris Code, one of the foremost scholars in the field. Professor Code has made a galvanizing impact on the field: as a savant, a motivator and an impresario of trends which have resulted in several significant developments in the field. In the first chapter of this book the editors outline the considerable contributions Chris Code has made to the area.

The remaining contents have been divided into three main approaches to the study of aphasia, reflecting Professor Code's own interests. First are the contributions that fall under the heading of Conceptual Considerations. These are mainly interdisciplinary in nature, spanning linguistics, phonetics, psychology and neurology, as well as social aspects of communication disorders. The second section of the book deals with Research Considerations, with chapters ranging from how the study of disrupted communication can inform models of normal language processing, through tone production and processing in speakers with aphasia, to anomia and progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy. Each of these chapters explores different aspects of research methodology, including quantitative and qualitative research. The final section of the collection deals with Clinical Considerations; the chapters here cover counselling, computerized training, cultural and linguistic diversity in aphasia, right hemisphere disorders, and communication problems in the dementias.

Clinical Aphasiology will be an invaluable tool for both students and practitioners in speech and language pathology, psychology, neurology, and related fields.

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"Ball and Damico have compiled a set of papers addressing topics and concepts rarely included in basic aphasia texts. Clinical Aphasiology: Future Directions is an excellent supplemental text for graduate level students of aphasia." - Gail Ramsberger, University of Colorado, USA

"A true testimony to Chris Code's three decades at the heart of aphasia research; this volume is a fitting tribute from the aphasiology community to the substantial influence that Chris has had on the field of clinical aphasiology. It brings together contributions from leading international investigators, covering the wide range of themes to which Chris has made his own distinguished contribution." - Anne Whitworth, Newcastle University, UK
