Sommario/riassunto

This case-based book specifically contrasts impairment- and consequences-focused treatment for persons with aphasia that enables clinicians to evaluate for themselves the relative contributions that each approach provides, to evaluate their relative strengths and weaknesses, and finally to seek common ground. In each of the cases, detailed descriptions and assessment results are provided and clinical management plans, representing each approach, are presented by internationally recognized experts in aphasia rehabilitation.
