Traditional and contemporary views of aphasia: implications for clinical management.
The following is an attempt to consider how various ways of thinking about the aphasic condition influence how the problem is approached for rehabilitation. The fundamental theory of three popular, traditional approaches to assessment of aphasia are considered with particular regard to their consequential influence upon clinical management. The possibilities and limitations of clinical integration of the relatively new approach of cognitive neuropsychology are discussed.
