This is a clinically oriented discussion of aphasia, of related language disorders, and of complicating factors. Linguistic, biological, and psychological aspects of aphasia are discussed, but primary clinical problems and their resolution are the focus.

Aphasia Summary

Aphasia: A Clinical Perspective by D. Frank Benson (Augustus S. Rose Professor of Neurology Emeritus, Augustus S. Rose Professor of Neurology Emeritus, University of California at Los Angeles)

In this volume the authors combine two clinically-oriented approaches to language disorder. The clinical aspects of aphasia syndromes are stressed but the authors also review assessment techniques, linguistic analyses, problems of aphasia classification, and frequently occuring related disorders such as alexia, agraphia and acalculia. In addition, commonly encountered speech disorders, neurobehavioral and psychiatric problems commonly associated with apasia, and the language characteristics of aging and dementia reviewed. A neural basis is proposed for aphasia and related problems. Finally, aspects of rehabilitation and recovery are presented.

Aphasia Reviews

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
