Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Paul A Dagenais, Ph.D.(University of South Alabama)
Description: This exhaustive review of acquired neurogenic language disorders covers aphasia, right brain, TBI, and dementia. It provides a broad range of information from theoretical concepts to clinical applications, including important aspects of the clinical process based on evidence-based practice as well as practical, useful information such as billing.
Purpose: The intent is to go beyond assessment and treatment of neurogenic disorders. The author includes aspects of the WHO's model of body structure and function, quality of life, multicultural issues, ethical issues, and evidence-based practice. This book is phenomenal and could be used across many courses for graduate students.
Audience: The intended audience is students in speech-language pathology who wish to work in the medical arena. It also would be a great reference for working clinicians. This book is right on target for graduate students. Dr. Hallowell is very much an authority, with years of experience, who has published extensively in these areas.
Features: The book covers all aspects of the process of assessment and intervention related to the neurological disorders of aphasia, right brain, TBI, and dementia. It includes a strong historical perspective on these deficits as well as descriptions of current neuroanatomy and neurophysiology. It covers many aspects of intervention such as quality of life issues that many books do not address. The book's main strength is that it is comprehensive. The only possible criticism is that this comprehensiveness could be seen as rather daunting by students. But it is a book many would want to subsequently keep for their professional libraries. There is an accompanying website, which would be of special interest to instructors.
Assessment: This book is amazing. It is extremely thorough and, to my knowledge, far exceeds the offerings I have considered in the past, such as Aphasiology: Disorders and Clinical Practice, 2nd edition, Davis (Pearson, 2006), and Brain-Based Communication Disorders, LaPointe et al. (Plural Publishing, 2010). It is also much more user friendly than Language Intervention Strategies in Aphasia and Related Neurogenic Communication Disorders, 5th edition, Chapey (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2008).
