Taylor & Francis Ltd (Sales) Living with Mild Brain Injury
Book SynopsisThis important book presents a unique, personal account of the impact a mild traumatic brain injury can have. It tells the story of Pauline, who was 33 when a late football tackle caused a bleed in her brain which went undiscovered for 18 months. The account includes descriptions of hidden symptoms of concussion and post-concussion syndrome, pitfalls in diagnoses, the uneven progress of recovery and the effect of the varied reactions which others have to an acquired brain injury.The author incorporates memories alongside extracts from clinic notes, diary entries and emails to reflect the disjointed progress of diagnosis and recovery as- although similar- no two head injuries are the same. Through this book, the reader gains an appreciation of the confusion experienced by many brain injury survivors, which sheds light on why some may develop unusual behavior or mental health issues, and how such issues can be alleviated.

Book Synopsisaeo Extensively re--written and updated, ensuring it remains the leading text in the field. aeo Reviews research on the cognitive deficits of dyslexia and the evidence concerning its biological basis. aeo Represents the only single authored book that offers a cognitive perspective on dyslexia.Trade Review"This book by Margaret Snowling...is a very welcome update of her well-received first edition book published in 1987 and reflects the significant amount of research that has taken place since this time. Margaret Snowling's thesis is that dyslexia is a consequence of a phonological deficit. Her evidence for this is extremely well presented throughout her book. Chapter 3 - The Phonological Representations Hypothesis - is exceptionally well written and assertively lays down the foundation of her argument. This book, although written with an academic rigour, cleverly embraces the impact of dyslexia on the individual...This promotes a very positive and optimistic theme on the treatment of dyslexia throughout the book. This book successfully provides a contemporary synthesis of research on the cognitive deficits of dyslexia and is strongly recommended to anyone with any involvement or interest in this complex area. It will be of enormous value to educational psychologists and teachers of students with specific learning difficulties and, no doubt, will continue to be the essential book on any training course's reading list on the subject. The book is very generously priced and therefore of exceptional value, given its contents." Dr. Barry Johnson BSc, Cert Ed, Dip Ed Psych, PhD, C. Psych Principal Educational Psychologist, The Dyslexia Institute. "An excellent view of the current state-of-the-art in dyslexia research, as is to be expected from this author, who is a recognized authority in the field. It is committed to a phonological approach to dyslexia, which explains the condition as a deficit of phonological representations. Snowling's book gives an outstanding account of this research tradition." TRENDS in Cognitive Sciences, Vol 5, No 3, March 2001. "Dyslexia is a basic work that explains in a very understandable way, very complex themes. It gives insight in the definition, ethicality and the treatment of children with dyslexia. That makes this work definitely a must-read (or: definitely very recommendable) for anyone that wants to resource himself in the understanding of and dealing with children that have dyslexia. On top of that, even experienced therapists get a better insight in the severity and characteristics of the problems of their clients".

Edinburgh University Press Clinical Linguistics
Book SynopsisLouise Cummings provides a comprehensive introduction to speech and language therapy which will give SLT students an excellent starting point for a wide range of communication impairments.The Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists estimates that 2.5 million people in the UK have a communication disorder. Of this number, some 800,000 people have a disorder that is so severe that it is hard for anyone outside their immediate families to understand them. In Clinical Linguistics, Louise Cummings provides a comprehensive introduction to speech and language therapy which will give SLT students an excellent starting point for a wide range of communication impairments. In chapters that are dedicated to the discussion of individual communication disorders, Cummings argues that no treatment of this area can reasonably neglect an examination of the prevalence and causes of communication disorders. The assessment and treatment of these disorders by speech and language therapists are discussed at length.Table of Contents1 THE SCOPE OF CLINICAL LINGUISTICS; 1.1 A New Definition of an Established Practice; 1.2 Human Communication: Processes; 1.3 Human Communication: Disorders; 1.4 The Contribution of Linguistic Science; 1.5 The Contribution of Medical Science and Its Practitioners; 1.6 The Purpose of Structure; 1.6.1 Epidemiology and Aetiology; 1.6.2 Clinical Assessment; 1.6.3 Clinical Intervention; 2 DISORDERS OF THE PRE- AND PERINATAL PERIOD; 2.1 Introduction; 2.2 Cleft Lip and Palate; 2.2.1 Epidemiology and Aetiology; 2.2.2 Clinical Assessment; 2.2.2.1 Feeding; 2.2.2.2 Speech; 2.2.2.3 Hearing; 2.2.2.4 Language; 2.2.3 Clinical Treatment; 2.2.3.1 Surgical Intervention; 2.2.3.2 Speech and Language Intervention; 2.3 Cerebral Palsy; 2.3.1 Epidemiology and Aetiology; 2.3.2 Clinical Assessment; 2.3.2.1 Feeding; 2.3.2.2 Speech; 2.3.2.3 Hearing; 2.3.2.4 Language; 2.3.3 Clinical Treatment; 2.3.3.1 Feeding Intervention; 2.3.3.2 Communication Intervention; 3 DISORDERS OF COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT; 3.1 Introduction; 3.2 Learning Disability; 3.2.1 Epidemiology and Aetiology; 3.2.2 Clinical Presentation; 3.2.2.1 Feeding; 3.2.2.2 Speech; 3.2.2.3 Hearing; 3.2.2.4 Language; 3.2.3 Clinical Treatment; 3.2.3.1 Early Communication Intervention; 3.2.3.2 Speech and Language Intervention; 3.2.3.3 Augmentative and Alternative Communication; 3.3 Autistic Spectrum Disorder; 3.3.1 Epidemiology and Aetiology; 3.3.2 Clinical Presentation; 3.3.2.1 Comorbid Conditions; 3.3.2.2 Communication Features; 3.3.3 Clinical Assessment; 3.3.4 Clinical Intervention; 4 DISORDERS OF SPEECH AND LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT; 4.1 Introduction; 4.2 Developmental Verbal Dyspraxia; 4.2.1 Epidemiology and Aetiology; 4.2.2 Clinical Presentation; 4.2.3 Assessment and Diagnosis; 4.2.4 Clinical Intervention; 4.3 Developmental Phonological Disorder; 4.3.1 Epidemiology and Aetiology; 4.3.2 Clinical Presentation; 4.3.3 Phonological Assessment; 4.3.4 Phonological Intervention; 4.4 Specific Language Impairment; 4.4.1 Epidemiology and Aetiology; 4.4.2 Clinical Presentation; 4.4.3 Clinical Intervention; 4.4.4 SLI and Cognitive Deficits; 4.5 Landau-Kleffner Syndrome; 5 ACQUIRED COMMUNICATION AND SWALLOWING DISORDERS; 5.1 Introduction; 5.2 Acquired Dysarthria; 5.2.1 Epidemiology and Aetiology; 5.2.2 Clinical Presentation; 5.2.3 Dysarthria Assessment; 5.2.4 Dysarthria Treatment; 5.3 Apraxia of Speech; 5.3.1 Epidemiology and Aetiology; 5.3.2 Clinical Presentation; 5.3.3 Assessment and Intervention; 5.4 Acquired Aphasia; 5.4.1 Epidemiology and Aetiology; 5.4.2 Clinical Presentation; 5.4.3 Aphasia Assessment; 5.4.4 Aphasia Intervention; 5.5 Acquired Dysphagia; 5.5.1 Epidemiology and Aetiology; 5.5.2 Clinical Presentation; 5.5.3 Dysphagia Assessment; 5.5.4 Dysphagia Intervention; 5.6 Schizophrenia; 6 DISORDERS OF FLUENCY; 6.1 Introduction; 6.2 Stuttering; 6.2.1 Epidemiology and Aetiology; 6.2.2 Clinical Presentation; 6.2.3 Clinical Assessment; 6.2.4 Clinical Intervention; 6.3 Cluttering; 7 DISORDERS OF VOICE; 7.1 Introduction; 7.2 Voice Disorders; 7.2.1 Epidemiology and Aetiology; 7.2.2 Clinical Presentation; 7.2.3 Clinical Assessment; 7.2.4 Clinical Intervention; 7.2.4.1 Surgery; 7.2.4.2 Radiotherapy; 7.2.4.3 Drugs; 7.2.4.4 Voice Therapy.

Book SynopsisLouise Cummings provides a comprehensive introduction to speech and language therapy which will give SLT students an excellent starting point for a wide range of communication impairments.Trade ReviewClinical Linguistics by Louise Cummings is a monumental undertaking. Cummings covers the discipline, from child language and speech disorders to failed communication in adulthood. Further, she covers each of the disorders comprehensively as well, from its biology and its medical features to its epidemiology; from treatment to assessment. And it is all done with a sound and disciplined scholarship. This almost encyclopedic text is even-handed and fair, focusing on the disorders and the individuals who have them, rather than on professional opinions concerning effective treatment. It is truly breathtaking, in scope and in consistency of purpose. I really can't think of anything like it. -- Audrey L. Holland, Regents' Professor Emerita, University of Arizona Louise Cummings' book makes a significant contribution to the literature on the SLP's role and the critical areas of her occupation.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Transcortical Aphasias Brain Behaviour and
Book SynopsisTranscortical aphasias is the term used for syndromes in which the ability to repeat language is relatively preserved despite marked disturbances in other linguistic domains. Although there are a number of well-known reference texts on language disturbances after acquired brain damage that uncover the classical syndromes of aphasia (e.g. conduction aphasia) in a comprehensive fashion, this monograph is unique in its coverage of the different clinical, linguistic, and neuroanatomical aspects of transcortical aphasias.This book offers a comprehensive, contemporary and scholarly account of transcortical aphasias by combining valuable information upon cognitive neuropsychology, neuroimaging and functional localization of residual repetition and other language functions among patients with transcortical aphasias.The book covers: historical aspects; assessment of language deficits from a clinical and psycholinguistic perspective; clinical phenomenology, aetiology, neural substrates, Trade Review'Berthier has written a remarkably extensive and comprehensive account of the transcortical aphasias. His book is a valuable contribution to our knowledge of aphasias, cognitive psychology, and functional localization. It is a most useful current reference for clinicians, psycholinguistic researchers, and aphasiologists, and their students.' - Andrew Kertesz'Readers immersed in the detailed study of aphasia will welcome this book as a valid attempt to integrate the accumulated knowledge, which in other texts on aphasia is usually discussed only briefly.' - Otfried Spreen, University of Victoria, Canada, APA Review of Books'Readers immersed in the detailed study of aphasia will welcome this book as a valid attempt to integrate the accumulated knowledge, which in other texts on aphasia is usually discussed only briefly.' - APA Review of BooksTable of Contents1.Historical Aspects 2.Language Testing 3.Transcortical Motor Aphasia 4.Transcortical Sensory Aphasia 5.Mixed Transcortical Aphasia 6.Echophenomena, Automatic Speech, and Prosody in Transcortical Sensory Aphasia 7.Neuroanatomical Correlates of Transcortical Aphasias 8.Conclusions Aphasia.

Book SynopsisThrough the medium of detailed clinical case reports, written by well-respected clinicians and researchers working internationally in the field, Clinical Cases in Dysarthria discusses the challenges, and rewards of applying evidence-based procedures to people with dysarthria in real-life busy routine clinical settings. The text opens with an introduction to the latest research and practices within dysarthria treatment and sets the scene for the eight individual case reports which follow. These case reports form the core chapters of the text and cover themes that range from clinical diagnostic conundrums to applying popular, and/or novel intervention approaches to different populations where dysarthria presents. Each chapter has a specific argument drawing on theoretical principles of assessment and rehabilitation, incorporating latest research evidence to help readers problem-solve similar cases in their clinical practice. Throughout the text, readers are encourTrade Review"'What do I need to do to make a difference?' might be our most important and frequently asked question as clinicians.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Navigating Adult Stammering
Book SynopsisThis book, the first in an exciting new series, provides speech and language therapy students and newly qualified and beginning stammering specialists with 100 key points that will help form a strong foundation for their work supporting adults and teenagers who stammer.Composed of practical, relevant and useful advice from an experienced clinician, chapters break advice down into sections which include information about the therapeutic relationship, therapeutic approaches and signposts to further resources. Throughout the book, comments from stammering specialists describe what they wish they had known at the start of their careers. This book: Puts the person who stammers at the heart of therapy, following the clinical choices they might make Is written in an accessible style, designed to be dipped in and out of as required Draws on the experience of therapists working with those who stammer Full of advice and guidance to support Trade ReviewDr Trudy Stewart has done it again: written a highly accessible, comprehensive and practical book aimed at newly qualified and therapists starting to specialise in stammering. I would argue that this book is also useful for experienced speech and language therapists looking to keep up-to-date with the latest thinking on therapy approaches for young people and adults who stammer.Navigating Adult Stammering has a pleasing logical structure, starting (quite rightly) with the person who stammers, moving onto the therapist and the relationship between the two, before describing a range of therapy approaches. In this way the reader gains an overview of the different options available. The book is peppered with useful example of real people Trudy has worked with over the years and their stammering therapy journeys, bringing to life the therapy process. In this way Trudy generously shares her skills and knowledge and is not afraid to describe when she has not always got things right and what she learnt from those experiences. In line with this desire to share learning from others, she includes comments from practising therapists reflecting on what they wish they had known at the start of their work with dysfluent clients.Another useful feature occurring throughout the book is the way Trudy highlights commonly occurring difficulties/challenges and possible solutions when describing particular ways of working. In this way Trudy skilfully anticipates the questions often posed by therapists new to the stammering field: ‘what do I do if this happens?’. Moreover, she signposts the reader to a list of useful resources at the end of every section.The two sections which I believe deserve particular mention focus on psychological approaches and the stammer more proudly movement, the former for the way it brings so many different psychological approaches together in one place, the latter for its inclusive and reflective content. For any therapist working in stammering, whether new to the area or experienced, it is incredibly helpful to become more knowledgeable about the ways a client can be supported psychologically and how we as therapists are often the best people to carry out this role.With regards to the Stammer more proudly section. I was deeply impressed by the way Trudy describes this relatively new way of considering stammering through the lens of the social model of disability. She takes into account ground-breaking work in this area as well as seeking individual views of people who stammer. She does not shy away from reflecting on the potentially uncomfortable questions the stammer more proudly movement pose for us as therapists, and how her own thinking and practice has changed. In summary, Trudy proves herself once again to be the ultimate clinician’s clinician. Drawing upon her decades of working with people who stammer, she offers through this book an invaluable overview and insight into how we as therapists can best empower our clients who stammer.Rachel Everard, Speech Therapy, City Lit., LondonRecently, the publishing market has come with more and more increasingly valuable publications on stammering. Trudy Stewart's book, although intended for newly qualified speech-language therapists and those just starting to specialize in stammering, will – without a doubt – be enthusiastically received by experienced fluency experts as well. This publication covers all the essential topics related to the stammering intervention. Attentive readers are granted access to both – the primary theoretical content and the details on stammering therapy practice. The publication also discusses the psychological approaches used in stammering. Furthermore, the author explains complex topics, e.g., relapse in stammering therapy. The book is written clearly and reader-friendly while integrating updated knowledge with the author's rich clinical experience. From the very beginning, the reader will confront a holistic and humanistic approach to stammering and people who stammer. This book promotes stammering therapy based on trust, acceptance, and partner cooperation between the speech-language therapist and the clients along with their families and community.The uniqueness of this book is that it was written by a wise, extraordinarily experienced, and modest professional who emphasizes building a partner relationship from the first moments of contact with the client. The author shows how important it is to become an attentive therapist who can listen to the clients – learn from them and with them. It should be appreciated how open and ready the author is to share her own thoughts, be authentic and sincere in contact with the client. Her eagerness as an SLT to reveal her imperfections is laudable. Her understanding and acceptance toward the stammering phenomenon and individuals who stammer can model her readers. Above all, the commentaries by the experienced clinicians, including the author herself, wishing that they had attained this knowledge when they were newly qualified clinicians have added vital wisdom. These comments are a treasure trove and contain important lessons for any clinician. I cannot wait for this book to be available in the bookstores. As a professor, I can imagine how meaningful it will be for speech-language therapy students to familiarize themselves with its content. I wish I had had the opportunity to read this book when I took my first steps in stammering therapy.Professor Katarzyna Węsierska, University of Silesia in Katowice, Poland, European Fluency Specialist & ECSF coach, International Cluttering Association Secretary Despite stammering being a core part of Speech and Language Therapy training, the first steps into working with clients who stammer can be daunting. I well remember the anxiety before stepping into the waiting room to greet my first adult client who stammered. What if they ask me something I couldn’t answer? Am I up to the job of this ‘specialist’ area? And, worst of all, what if my lack of experience makes their situation worse? In this book, Dr Trudy Stewart eases the transition into the world of working with adults who stammer by acknowledging these worries and providing clear and sensible steps forward. Dr Stewart has long been a leading voice in the field of stammering. Her background of clinical work, leadership, research and teaching all have a common thread of ‘client-centeredness’ woven through them. The same is true from this book. Through these navigational points she provides a road map for working with adults who stammer, but with the reassurance that the final destination isn’t ours to know. The client will set the destination and choose the mode of travel. Our job is to help plan the route and make appropriate stop offs at key places. Through a clearly laid out and accessibly written series of chapters we are guided through this journey; starting with first principals about stammering and challenging the potential preconceptions that newer clinicians may have about their role and purpose when working with adults who stammer, moving through initial meetings and case histories and into the range of therapy and support options we may employ. To do this she draws on well-established ways of working and also introduces newer ideas (e.g., stammer more proudly) with equal weighting to the old. She shares what has worked from personal and shared experiences, as well as discussing what the academic literature has to say on the subject, suggesting stop off points along the way by sign posting resources or further reading for those who wish to delve deeper. Throughout the book Dr Stewart provides a neutral discussion about the range of approaches to working with stammering, placing herself firmly in the midpoint, not pushing a particular approach on the client, but being there to explore options and find what works for them. Each chapter is broken down into short bite sized points to consider along the journey. This allows the reader to dip in and out of the book, using the book as a reference guide and checking in throughout working with the client. I heartily recommend this book to clinicians taking their first steps into the world of stammering. I’m certain that had this been available to me as a new clinician I would have had a well thumbed copy in the top drawer of my desk at all times. And who knows, I may still do so. Whilst reading this book I couldn’t help but reflect on the clients that I’m currently working with, checking in that I had spent enough time at each stage of the journey, making sure that I hadn’t missed or over looked part of the process. After all, even experienced travellers need a map sometimes.Ben Bolton-Grant, Course Director, MSc Speech and Language Therapy, Speech and Language Sciences, Leeds Beckett UniversityI never thought I’d say this about a textbook but this book is a great read! The book is filled with an extensive variety of information and approaches which is not only detailed, but clear and comprehensive. From a Speech and Language Therapist (SLT) student’s perspective (having not learnt about stammering yet), the book gave me a deep insight into dysfluency and most importantly, individuals who stammer. Trudy truthfully reflects on her personal growth as a therapist and emphasises the positivity in inexperience; showing your uncertainty and vulnerability is an influential approach when working with a client. I can only imagine how useful this book will be to a therapist who is feeling inexperienced in a role where they are new to stammering. The advice felt relatable and reassuring, whilst reminding me that we, as therapists, should always aspire to self-improve. What traits can I develop further? What can I do now that I wasn’t doing before? The use of hypothetical situations, real-life case examples and analogies helps evoke a profound sense of empathy and understanding from the reader - making the book distinct in contrast to other textbooks. By the end of the book, I felt I had a well-rounded, holistic view of the person who stammers and the various therapy approaches. The use of critical evaluation in the book on perspectives such as the medical and social models of disability also allows the reader to challenge the generalizations and stereotypes associated with stammering.This book is invaluable to a therapist new to stammering, as Trudy talks about knowledge that she wishes she had known at the start of her role. I really recommend this book, whether it is utilised to update therapists on new research or as a starting out ‘go to’ resource. I will certainly take forward many of the book’s approaches and advice into my future as a SLT.Isobel Hart, Student Speech & Language therapist Dr. Trudy Stewart has composed a true gift for both Speech and Language Therapists (SLTs) working in the field of Stammering, as well as clients seen by therapists who read this book. I would go as far to say that this brilliantly structured book is a Stammering Therapy Bible for SLTs. Dr. Stewart’s wealth of knowledge and experience is admirable, and she has created a practical, applicable, and generalisable guide for SLTs. This book is extremely comprehensive whilst remaining concise and easy to read and navigate, and is essential reading for SLTs in this field. It will support therapists to be truly person-centred, use evidence-based practise, and empower and promote advocacy for a person with a stammer. The incorporation of advice regarding how to be a good therapist and build an appropriate, strong, therapeutic relationship is invaluable. For newly qualified therapists or those starting out in this area, the many therapeutic methods in this field can often feel overwhelming and daunting; however, this book consolidates the extensive volume of research and therapy approaches available into an organised filing cabinet. The anecdotal examples, structure and diagrams make this book highly accessible and enable a therapist to apply their knowledge from this book to their practise. This book is also a fantastic resource for further reading, as Dr. Stewart provides references and recommendations regarding where to find further information on specific areas- essentially, doing all the legwork and saving many hours of research for the reader. Furthermore, this book is highly relevant to current times in terms of considering and exploring newer approaches such as telehealth, the social model to health, the importance of psychological approaches such as mindfulness, and stammering pride. I am truly grateful for Dr. Stewart’s ability to create such an enjoyable, comprehensive, and accessible book for which I would like to thank her on behalf of all SLTs with an interest in this area.Ashleigh Wolinsky, Speech and Language Therapist, Gesher SchoolIt's far too common to see a great divide in the world of stuttering. The divide between the top of the iceberg and the bottom of the iceberg, between professionals and people who stutter, between the push to change and the need to accept, between the individual journey and the broader movements.This book weaves it together - presenting a broader range of perspective and experiences. The reader of this book will be smarter about stuttering in general.And more importantly and far more rare, the reader will understand more of the inside story.Uri Schneider, MA CCC-SLP, Director, Schneider Speech Faculty, University of California Riverside School of MedicineTable of ContentsIntroduction Section A: The Person who Stammers Section B: The therapist Section C: The therapeutic relationship Section D: Beginning sessions Section E: Therapy: General points Section F: Therapy: Fluency modification or speak more fluently approach Section G: Therapy: Stammering modification or stammer more easily approach Section H: Therapy: Stammer more proudly Section I: Psychology approaches Section J: Maintaining positive outcomes and planning for the re-emergence of roles and behaviours Section K: Support Networks Final Thoughts Appendix 1: Formal assessments currently in use Appendix 2: Cognitive Restructuring: learning to attach unhelpful thoughts
