The Aphasia Therapy Files represent a practical resource for
people who work with individuals with aphasia, either as therapists
or as researchers. An overview of issues associated with current
practices is combined with a study of the practicalities of
determining, designing and implementing therapies.
This second volume continues to explore the possibility of
bridging the gap between therapy in a clinical setting and the
practical issues faced by the person living with aphasia. Each
author presents one or more of their clinical practices in order to
share their therapy experiences and reasoning with others. These
contributions provide an insight into the complex issues that face
both the practitioner and the person with aphasia, including
discussion of subjects such as:
Revealing competence and rethinking identity for people with
severe aphasia using drawing and a communication book
Respecting the rights of a person with aphasia to their own life
choices: a longitudinal therapy study
A group approach to the long-term rehabilitation of people with
acquired head injury within the community
Lexical and functionally based treatment: effects on word
retrieval and conversation
While each of the chapters is of considerable interest on its
own, the final chapter offers readers a method of describing and
capturing what happens in therapy and why, to enable comparisons
between therapies and application by readers themselves.
Written by speech and language therapists working in clinical
practice, the studies included in this unique resource reflect the
realities of everyday practice and will appeal to therapists,
students and researchers in aphasia.
