Get the tools you need to evaluate, diagnose, and treat patients
with neurogenic communication disorders! Introduction to Neurogenic
Communication Disorders, 8th Edition provides a solid foundation in
the neurology of communication, as well as the causes, symptoms,
diagnosis, assessment, and management of commonly encountered
neurogenic communication disorders in adults. A concise,
evidence-based approach shows how to measure and treat
abnormalities such as aphasia, dysarthria, right-hemisphere
syndrome, and traumatic brain injury syndrome. This edition is
updated with new coverage of laboratory tests, blast-related
injuries to the head, and medications for dementia. Created by
neurogenic communication disorders educator Robert H. Brookshire
and continued by Malcolm R. McNeil, this bestselling text will
enhance your skills in the rehabilitation of clients with
neurogenic communication disorders. A clear, concise approach makes
complex material easy to follow and understand. Clinical vignettes
show how to apply principles to practice and illustrate how
patients are evaluated and treated. Thought questions at the end of
each chapter are based on realistic scenarios and challenge you to
assess your understanding, think critically, and apply information
to clinical situations. Suggested answers are included in the
appendix. Clinically relevant sidebars include related facts,
information, and tips for recall or therapy. More than 200
photographs and images include anatomic illustrations, scans using
various brain imaging techniques, and examples of assessment tests.
Evidence-based practice is reinforced by the use of scientific,
evidence-based rationales to support the effectiveness of treatment
approaches. Student-friendly features enhance learning with chapter
outlines, critical thinking exercises, medical protocols, sample
paperwork, patient transcripts, commonly used medical
abbreviations, and a glossary with definitions of key vocabulary.
General Concepts summary points highlight the most important
material in each chapter. NEW content on closed-head injuries as a
consequence of blast injury is included in the Traumatic Brain
Injury chapter, addressing a pathophysiology often found in Iraq
and Afghanistan war veterans. UPDATED content includes new
information on medications for treatment of persons with dementia,
the latest laboratory tests for neurologic assessment, and the most
current cognitive rehabilitation approaches. NEW! More Thought
questions in each chapter help you apply concepts to clinical
situations. Additional content on evidence-based practice includes
systematic reviews and meta-analyses relating to the efficacy and
effectiveness of specific treatment approaches. Additional
graphics, clinical photographs, and tables depict key information
and concepts.
