What is immediately clear when meeting individuals with acquired
brain damage is that the patterns of communication impairments vary
in remarkable ways among these individuals. Aphasia and related
communication disorders, while devastating life events for
individuals who acquire brain damage, provide lessons of
considerable interest to many clinicians and researchers trying to
understand the brain's neurological and psychological complexity
and develop methods to facilitate optimum recovery of lost language
and communication functions following brain damage. The Oxford
Handbook of Aphasia and Language Disorders weaves theoretical and
neurological foundations with rational, motivated clinical
approaches to assessment, diagnosis, and intervention for aphasia
and related communication disorders. The contributing authors,
experienced clinicians and scientists with strong backgrounds in
neurological and cognitive neuropsychological theories, bridge
theory to clinical practice, reviewing the extant literature in
each aphasia syndrome while exploring implications for guiding
clinical decision-making. Introductory chapters provide historical
perspectives on the aphasia syndromes following left hemisphere
brain damage, and review aphasia assessment across the decades. The
bulk of the Handbook covers aphasia syndromes, with chapters that
describe each aphasia syndrome in detail, including behavioral,
neural, and cognitive neuropsychological correlates and methods to
assess and treat each syndrome. Additional chapters provide
insights into acquired reading and writing disorders and social and
prosodic communication disorders that follow damage to the right
cerebral hemisphere. The final chapters examine neural perspectives
on aphasia recovery and principles of neuroplasticity in aphasia
treatment. As such, this book integrates neural, cognitive, and
clinical perspectives to provide a broad understanding of the
complexity of language and impairments that can arise following
acquired brain damage, and will be of interest to scholars and
clinicians in the speech-language, neuropsychology, and
rehabilitation professions.
