註釋

In clear, direct, easy-to-understand language, the author of this new book in Singular's popular Coping with Aging Series explains the nature of aphasia, a communication disorder that can disrupt the lives of not only those with aphasia but their families as well. Combining skill with compassion, the author describes in clear detail what the person with aphasia confronts over a duration of several years, and provides sound, constructive advice to the people with aphasia and their loved ones. Written for adults with aphasia, their loved ones, caregivers, and therapists, Coping with Aphasia provides not only factual information important to understand aphasia, but a hopeful, insightful, and uplifting perspective on coping with a frustrating condition. Addresses challenges faced by caregivers who deal with the especial needs of the people with aphasia; four chapters take readers on a journey in the form of a chronology from the moment of onset of aphasia to years afterwards, explaining what to expect and how to cope along the way; provides personal accounts of people who have traveled the same roads; provides exceptionally clear explanations of the condition and its treatment, as well as where to look for help; appendixes include useful medical and technical terms, national and state stroke or aphasia agencies, and information in assistive devices and materials.
