Review: This book describes ways of thinking about, describing and carrying out aphasia therapy, with the aim of providing aphasia therapy practitioners with new therapy resources and to challenge them to reflect on their own therapy decisions, processes and successes. This volume leans slightly more towards the academic than the previous volume. It provides an overview of current theoretical thinking and reseatch, along with a study of the practicalities of determining, designing and implementing the therapies. The authors are speech and language therapists and each describe one or more of their clinical practices. These provide an insight into the complex issues facing both the practitioner and the patient.
