Description
Frederic L. Darley was the consummate clinical scientist. One cannot peruse the literature on neurogenic communication disorders without constantly encountering his name, his work, his influence. His work was monumental.
The contributors of the seven papers in this issue of Aphasiology have long and impressive track records as researchers and clinicians. Their papers are important because not only do they reflect how Darley's work has influenced diagnostic and patient management decisions, but in some cases the contributors take issue with and/or expand on his work. This ability to question existing evidence was a trait that Fred Darley instilled in his students. Equally important is that each paper tells us something about him as a person, as a mentor who shaped careers, and about the love and respect his students and colleagues had for him.
