Review: This reference book provides therapists with both a theoretical background and a practical approach for use in assessment and treatment of people with aphasia. The text is presented in three parts: Part 1 describes the theory and principles of the cognitive neuropsychological approach, together with models for the identification and characterization of impairments; Part 2 describes the types of deficit, the tools available for their assessment, and includes case descriptions; Part 3 is an overview of the literature on studies of aphasia therapy and includes summaries of therapies used and findings to date. The book will be of interest to both students and professionals in the field of aphasia therapy.
