However, in recent years, it has been realized that these difficulties in communication are closely tied to the cognitive, behavioral and social problems observed following TBI, and this is changing the way people with TBI are assessed and generating new approaches to rehabilitation. Communication Disorders Following Traumatic Brain Injury brings together a comprehensive and contemporary collection of chapters that represents the best work being carried out in the area of social and functional linguistic behavior in adults and children, incorporating chapters on discourse, pragmatics, exchange structure, social skills, and voice and articulation. It should be of interest to psychologists, speech pathologists and therapists, and linguists. Clinicians and researchers working with people with TBI, and their students, should find it a comprehensive source of contemporary approaches to characterizing the communication problems of people with TBI and for planning rehabilitation. |
