title: [Possible effects of drawing on the language and re-education of an aphasic patient (author's transl)].
abstract: Various studies have demonstrated that the ability to draw may be unaffected in motor aphasia, and even in some cases of sensory aphasia when there is no associated constructive apraxia. An artist, who was both a satirist and a caricaturist, was followed up for three years during re-educational therapy following the onset of an overall aphasia, and this raises the problem of the possible effects of drawing on recuperation of language, and the role of the right hemisphere in this recuperation. The question arises as to whether drawing should be restricted to certain particular cases during re-education or be employed in a more general manner?
