title: Managing aphasia: then and now.
abstract: The nature and attitudes of the professionals who 'manage' aphasia have changed significantly over the 75 years the IALP has existed. This review shows how IALP publications have reflected this, and considers recent developments, particularly in respect of the role played by the cognitive neuropsychological approach in evidence-based healthcare and by conversational approaches in the empowerment of aphasic people.
