This book presents the work on aphasia coming out of the Institute
for Aphasia and Stroke in Norway during its 10 years of existence.
Rather than reviewing previously presented work, it was my desire
to give a unified analysis and discussion of our accumulated data.
The empirical basis for the analysis is a fairly large group (249
patients) investigated with a standard, comprehensive set of
procedures. Tests of language functions must be developed anew for
each language, but comparison of my findings with other recent
compre hensive studies of aphasia is faciliated by close parallels
in test meth ods (Chapter 2). The classification system used is
currently the most accepted neurological system, but I have
operationalized it for research purposes (Chapter 3). The analyses
presented are based on the view that aphasia is an aspect of a
multidimensional disturbance of brain function. Find ings of
associated disturbances and variations in the aphasic condition
over time have been dismissed by some as irrelevant to the study of
aphasia as a language deficit. My view is that this rich and
complex set of findings gives important clues to the organization
of brain functions in humans. I present analyses of the
relationship of aphasia to neuropsychological disorders in
conceptual organization, memory, visuospatial abilities and apraxia
(Chapters 4, 5, and 6), and I study the variations with time of the
aphasic condition (Chapter 8)."
