Challenging Aphasia Therapies presents an entirely new approach to
thinking on the subject of aphasia therapy by liberating it from
traditional models. This is achieved through a process of
reflection in which many assumptions previously taken for granted
are challenged and reassessed. Internationally renowned experts
successfully demonstrate the benefits of learning about aphasia
therapy through the process of engaging in it. Topics covered
include: * the role of context, culture and conversation in shaping
and directing aphasia therapy * the ethical issues that arise from
the current tensions between market driven health care industries
and the moral commitment to their client welfare * the value of
therapy. Contributors challenge the common notion of successful
therapy as solely performance related. * the potential and
competent use of humour in aphasia therapy. The identification of
the strengths and limitations of clinical models and the focus on
relevant directions for therapy will be of interest to practising
clinicians as well as anyone involved in study or research in
speech and language therapy.
