Riassunto

Acquired Language Disorders: A Case-Based Approach, Fourth Edition, is a practical, easy-to-follow, and organized text for students and clinicians. The authors present each case from a holistic perspective with practical applications to improve activities of daily living, as well as a social interactive perspective to create a complete picture of each case. When treating people with aphasia, clinicians are encouraged to consider not only the language domains but also the cognitive domains of executive functions, attention, memory, and visuospatial skills. Information in the text links the assessment process to treatment goals that is guided by the Aphasia: Framework for Outcome Measurement (A-FROM) model built to augment the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) model from the World Health Organization (WHO). This edition begins with fundamental information about brain-behavior relationships and pertinent medical terminology for assessing and treating individuals with a variety of acquired language disorders. Each disorder is then introduced in a case-based format that includes a case scenario with their photo, a functional analysis of the patient, critical thinking/learning activities, a diagnostic profile, the Target Model, treatment considerations, application of the A-FROM model for patients' goals. Special features include "Test Your Knowledge" sections based on patient scenarios along with an answer key, a Quick Reference Diagnostic Chart for acquired language disorders, and a Functional Communication Connections Worksheet for treatment planning purposes. The text includes an assessment summary sheet for developing a diagnostic profile in addition to step-by-step procedures on administering more than 25 treatment programs.
