This book presents a collection of cutting edge work from leading
researchers and clinicians around the world on a range of topics
within Clinical Aphasiology. However, more than this, the volume is
also a tribute to Chris Code, one of the foremost scholars in the
field. Professor Code has made a galvanizing impact on the field:
as a savant, a motivator and an impresario of trends which have
resulted in several significant developments in the field. In the
first chapter of this book the editors outline the considerable
contributions Chris Code has made to the area.
The remaining contents have been divided into three main
approaches to the study of aphasia, reflecting Professor Code's own
interests. First are the contributions that fall under the heading
of Conceptual Considerations. These are mainly interdisciplinary in
nature, spanning linguistics, phonetics, psychology and neurology,
as well as social aspects communication disorders. The second
section of the book deals with Research Considerations, with
chapters ranging from how the study of disrupted communication can
inform models of normal language processing, through tone
production and processing in speakers with aphasia, to anomia and
progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy. Each of these chapters
explores different aspects of research methodology, including
quantitative and qualitative research. The final section of the
collection deals with Clinical Considerations; the chapters here
cover counselling, computerized training, cultural and linguistic
diversity in aphasia, right hemisphere disorders, and communication
problems in the dementias.
Clinical Aphasiology will be an invaluable tool for both
students andpractitioners in speech and language pathology,
psychology, neurology, and related fields.
