Summary

This chapter presents an overview of aphasia rehabilitation and deals only with acquired aphasia due to focal brain damage in adults. It discusses some principles explicitly or implicitly underlying the rationale of aphasia rehabilitation. The endeavour to treat language disorders has a long history, and the approaches are extremely heterogeneous. Among interventions for acquired cognitive deficits, the rehabilitation of speech and language disorders following brain damage has the longest tradition, dating back to the 19th century. A variety of approaches have been applied to the rehabilitation of aphasia. The emphasis of the behavioural approach is on the learning process, and is an application to aphasia treatment of programmed instruction based on operant conditioning. A meta-analysis of studies dealing with the effectiveness of language rehabilitation, limited to aphasia as a result of stroke, has been performed by the Cochrane collaboration.
