Dementia is a devastating condition, with profound cognitive
changes affecting every aspect of an individual's functioning. The
loss of communication is one symptom above others that causes
distress and impacts negatively on quality of life, yet it is still
one of the least understood aspects of dementia. This book
undertakes a comprehensive examination of language and
communication in individuals with cognitive impairment and
dementia. Each chapter covers a specific neurodegenerative
disorder, and addresses the epidemiology, aetiology,
pathophysiology, prognosis and clinical features, along with the
assessment and treatment of these disorders by speech-language
pathologists. Many examples of language from individuals with
neurodegenerative conditions are included, to explain clearly the
effects of dementia on communication, and there are exercises at
the end of each chapter, to develop language analysis skills. The
book is suitable reading for all medical and health professionals,
including speech-language pathologists, clinical psychologists and
neuropsychologists, geriatricians, neurologists and psychiatrists.
