\ From The CriticsReviewer: Aimee R Dietz, Ph.D.(University of Cincinnati College of Allied Health Sciences)\ Description: An improvement in this edition of a compilation of both the history and the future of aphasia interventions is the increased support for the notion that aphasia is cognitively based. Additionally, this book provides the foundation for clinicians to learn about restorative and compensatory intervention approaches for people with aphasia and related disorders.\ Purpose: "The purpose of the fifth edition is to bring together significant thoughts on intervention and to stimulate further developments in the remediation of adults with aphasia," according to the editor. She has successfully assimilated current research and continued development of intervention and assessment tools in the field of aphasia, traumatic brain injury (TBI), dementia, and right-hemisphere syndrome.\ Audience: Clinicians of all levels are the target audience. The standalone chapters could be successfully used independently depending on the purpose of a class or a clinician's caseload. The editor and the contributing authors are respected aphasiology researchers and clinicians at heart.\ Features: "This book can serve as a guide to clinicians when planning the assessment of and intervention for people with aphasia, TBI, right hemisphere syndrome, and dementia. It helps readers to provide services that are embedded in a social construct regardless of the type of intervention (i.e., restorative, compensatory/augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), or combined). Some of the unique features include a description and examples of diagnostic and treatment SOAP notes and incorporation of Blackstone & Berg's Social Networks (2003) into the assessment chapter. The chapter on communication-based interventions also provides an up-to-date summary of the current state of the science of AAC and aphasia and offers ideas to help clinicians understand how restoration and compensation/AAC interventions can be jointly implemented from day one. An inconsistency that occurs throughout the book is the failure to provide current references in some instances. In some chapters, authors provide few, if any, updated references from the previous edition published in 2001. (It should be noted, however, that some chapters discuss important, historically based interventions that have not been extensively researched in recent years, such as Schuell's stimulation approach to rehabilitation.) In other chapters, authors have not updated incidence and prevalence numbers from the previous edition, while other authors have not updated references to include new treatment approaches that are now available. "\ Assessment: However, this fifth edition is the most comprehensive book available for clinicians of all levels seeking assessment and intervention ideas for people with aphasia and related disorders.\ \ \ \ \ Marie E. ByrneThe third edition focuses primarily on treatment approaches and intervention strategies for adult aphasia. Also included are discussions of basic considerations in assessment of cerebrovascular accident, assessment of aphasia, assessment and remediation of related disorders, and professional issues of concern to the clinical aphasiologist. The purpose is ""to bring together significant thoughts on intervention and to stimulate further developments in the remediation of adult aphasic patients."" Intervention with adult aphasic patients is a challenging role for the speech-language pathologist. The information and thought-provoking discussion of issues will help the professional service provider meet that challenge. The book is most appropriate for graduate students in speech-language pathology and speech-language pathologists working with adult aphasic patients. Tables and illustrations within the text are helpful. References are current and relevant to issues and topics discussed. This book is an excellent resource for the graduate student in speech-language pathology as well as for the practicing clinician. It includes a broad range of topics within a very well structured organization. The contributors to this edited text are recognized experts within their areas. This third edition of this text offers revision of chapters appearing in earlier editions as well as new chapters. I would highly recommend this book.\ \ \ BooknewsNew edition of a resource that brings together significant thoughts on the remediation of adult aphasic patients. Chapey (speech communication arts and sciences, Brooklyn College) presents 36 contributions that discuss basic considerations such as the incident of stroke and aphasia, the role of the aphasiologist, the neural basis of language assessment and intervention, and the assessment of language and communication; principles of language intervention; psychosocial and functional issues; traditional approaches to intervention; and remediation of disorders that frequently accompany or are related to or confused with aphasia (traumatic brain injury, right hemisphere damage, dementia, aphaxia, and dysarthria).
