The Family Guide to Surviving Stroke and Communication Disorders, Second Edition
During the past ten years, scientists and clinicians have concluded that while speech and language therapies are beneficial in the treatment of stroke-related communication disorders, the psychological support provided by friends, family members, and therapists is of the utmost value. The Family Guide to Surviving Stroke and Communication Disorders, Second Edition is a comprehensive guide for families of stroke survivors, speech pathologists and rehabilitation specialists, and counselors who respond to the needs of stroke survivors and their families. Through non-technical terms, case studies, questions and answers, and examples, this book engages all readers on a journey toward understanding, healing, and persevering after a stroke.
The Second Edition includes:
Murphy's Inner World of Aphasia A new chapter: Profiles in Recovery Updated information about the "big three" stroke-related communication disorders: aphasia, apraxia of speech, and the dysarthrias Improved illustrations of the brain A poem: "The Silent Tongue (aphasia)" by Kathleen Gerety, RN The Aphasic Patient's Bill of Rights Glossary
