Talking About Aphasia: Living With Loss of Language After Stroke by Susie Parr, Sally Byng, Sue Gilpin and Chris Ireland

"This little jewel of a book should be essential reading for all professional and voluntary staff whose work brings them into contact with people with aphasia." - Therapy Weekly "Having now read the book three times I can find no adverse comment to make. It is a most interesting, up-to-date account of the experience of people with aphasia and how they can be helped towards recovery. It will surprise me if this book doesn't find its way to shelves ofall who work in the interest of people who have survived a stroke." - RCSLT Bulletin "This book is a wonderful idea and it meets a heretofore unmet need. It derives from a particularlyinteresting database, since it deals with aphasia in aphasic people'sown languageIt is strongly recommended." - Professor Audrey Holland, Department of Speech Pathology, University of Arizona, USA

Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
This book gave me the Insight I yearned for in understanding what my sister was thinking and feeling since she cannot express it herself. The frustration felt on both sides (by the stroke victim and family, friends) by lack of communication is somewhat easied by the Insight this book brings. I highly recommend it.
