"On Neurogenic Communication Disorders: Original Short Stories and Case Studies" is a unique book. It is a collection of short stories and case studies about persons with neurogenic communication disorders. The short stories are based on people I have known as friends, acquaintances, or patients. The characters in the short stories are based on one person or a composite of several individuals. I have placed these characters in interesting fictional situations which provide a vehicle for showing their mettle in dealing with their communication disorders and life challenges. The case studies are based on actual clinical cases and situations, but literary license has been taken to make them reader-friendly and interesting. This book of short stories and case studies is not a scholarly clinical treatise on neurogenic communication disorders nor does it aspire to be one. While I believe it provides accurate information about neurogenic communication disorders, it is a work of fiction and simply a different vehicle for understanding these complex and often devastating medical conditions.
The ability to communicate is amazing. No other human ability is so complicated, so sophisticated, so important to civilization-and yet so taken for granted. How tragic would life be without the marvelous ability to communicate? In "Simply Amazing: Communication Sciences and Disorders," Dr. Dennis C. Tanner explores the stages of the communication chain and examines the act of speech communication from the speaker's thoughts to the listener's understanding of them.

Through anecdotes, examples, illustrations, case studies, and personal asides of the amazing human ability to communicate-as well as the myriad disorders, defects, delays, and disabilities that can lay waste to it-"Simply Amazing: Communication Sciences and Disorders" provides keen insight into the world of communication.

The Psychology of Neurogenic Communication Disorders Dennis C. Tanner This unique book addresses psychological adjustments in patients with neurogenic communication disorders. The Psychology of Neurogenic Communication Disorders: A Primer for Health Care Professionals is written about patients who have aphasia, apraxia of speech, and/or the dysarthrias and is intended as a guide to understanding the significant psychological adjustments many patients must undergo. Organic and biochemical factors related to brain injury and psychological reactions, coping strategies and defense mechanisms, and the responses to loss are addressed in this text. Four original short stories that explore aphasia, apraxia of speech, and the dysarthrias help the reader understand the significant psychological and quality-of-life issues associated with neurogenic communication disorders. Its non-traditional framework offers clinical vignettes and case studies to help the student understand the issues of working with clients afflicted with speech disorders resulting from neurological incidents.
