Beskrivning
Many children and adults experience impairment of their communication skills. These communication disorders impact adversely on all aspects of these individuals' lives. In thirty dedicated chapters, The Cambridge Handbook of Communication Disorders examines the full range of developmental and acquired communication disorders and provides the most up-to-date and comprehensive guide to the epidemiology, aetiology and clinical features of these disorders. The volume also examines how these disorders are assessed and treated by speech and language therapists and addresses recent theoretical developments in the field. The handbook goes beyond well-known communication disorders to include populations such as children with emotional disturbance, adults with non-Alzheimer dementias and people with personality disorders. Each chapter describes in accessible terms the most recent thinking and research in communication disorders. The volume is an ideal guide for academic researchers, graduate students and professionals in speech and language therapy.

Recensioner i media

'Dr Cummings has assembled a group of exceptionally well-qualified scholars to generate a volume in the tradition of earlier handbooks on communication disorders - one that brings it to theoretical and clinical modernity. It will become required reading for practising speech-language clinicians as well as researchers and educators within the discipline and across related disciplines such as psychology, linguistics and medicine. This handbook will be a frequently cited volume that summarizes the current state of knowledge in communication science and disorders. It also will serve as a stimulus for the enigmatic in our attempt to understand and manage the myriad impairments of our most complex cognitive function.' Malcolm R. McNeil, University of Pittsburgh
