Diagnosing and Treating Aphasia

With an introduction by Robert J. Sbordone, Ph.D., this is the first video shot in Luria's clinics and labs that presents his classification system for brain-behavior relationships. This documentary offers a framework for understanding the complex relationship between the brain and the higher cognitive function of language.
Every clinician can benefit from viewing this unique footage. It offers a system for developing an effective rehabilitation program to treat patients with aphasic disturbances. The video clearly demonstrates Luria's theory of "cortical analyzers" which process information from the external environment. It also presents the six basic forms of aphasia.
