This is not just another book about aphasia therapy: this is quite different and deeply satisfying material that reflects on what makes therapy therapeutic. Reading it was a pleasure and an inspiration. It will no doubt provide other readers with opportunities for discussions and personal growth. - Professor Guylaine Le Dorze, University of Montreal, CanadaThis book has enormous potential to shape thinking on aphasia therapy and is written by some of the most influential authors in the world of aphasia. It explores how experienced therapists have really learned to become expert therapists and encourages reflection about the clinical models currently used. - Karen Bryan, University of SurreyIf you are a therapist or researcher who questions what aphasia therapy is really about, then this book is for you...It is our opinion that clinicians and researchers will identify with the discussion of real-life issues and together with those who have aphasia, will be stimulated to further explore and evaluate challenging and collaborative aphasia therapies. - Linda Worrall, Bronwyn Davidson, Tami Howe and Tanya Rose, the University of Queensland, Australia, in Aphasiology
