Aphasia is a debilitating disorder, resulting from brain damage,
that causes a person to lose the ability to understand or express
speech. While aphasia is sometimes permanent, some people can
completely recover their language ability spontaneously or with
treatment. This monograph consists of four chapters that provide
details about the disorder and describe various treatment options.
Chapter One reports non-invasive brain stimulation's contribution
to the study of phonological, syntactic and semantic language
processing, as well as the recent interest in connections between
language and motor systems. Chapter Two describes linguistically
focused intensive group therapy and discusses the specific needs of
adolescents and young adults with acquired aphasia. Chapter Three
presents a case report of a patient with post-traumatic aphasia.
Chapter Four provides details about subcortical aphasia, which is a
language disorder caused by injuries in subcortical areas, such as
the basal ganglia, white matter tracts, and thalamus, but not by
injuries in cortical language areas, such as Wernicke's and Broca's
areas.
