Book Synopsis

Global aphasia is the most severe and disabling form of aphasia, yet it has had the least attention within aphasia research and rehabilitation. This practical book provides the reader with a comprehensive understanding of the topic based on both clinical observations and the literature to date. Uniquely, it covers not only the severe language impairments observed in global aphasia but also the co-occurring cognitive impairments that often present an additional challenge when working with this population.

This book offers:

  • A comprehensive understanding of the clinical characteristics of global aphasia illustrated with real case examples
  • A theoretical overview of the domains of cognition and discussion of the role cognitive deficits play in the clinical presentation of people with global aphasia
  • Critical analysis of the research evidence on global aphasia
  • An exploration into the strengths and limitations of common methods used to assess languag
