The second edition of Neurogenic Disorders of Language and Cognition: Evidence-Based Clinical Practice provides a thorough and updated review of acquired neurogenic language and cognitive disorders including aphasia, traumatic brain injury, right hemisphere cognitive-communication disorders, and dementia. It includes a comprehensive review of the assessment and treatment procedures currently available for managing these linguistic and cognitive disorders. The content is again organized according to the WHO-ICF model which has become the preferred standard in today’s health care system across disciplines, including speech-language pathology.
Features include:
A thorough review of neurogenic language and cognitive disorders including aphasia, traumatic brain injury (TBI), right hemisphere cognitive-communication disorders (RHD), and dementia, so instructors, students, and clinicians have a comprehensive resource;
A more comprehensive description of cognitive assessment and treatment procedures than other speech-language pathology textbooks;
A DVD with video and writing samples to illustrate some of the different neurogenic disorders and assessment and treatment procedures.
New to this edition are more figures, tables and pictures; a more reader-friendly text; and discussion questions added to each chapter.
