Since the first edition was published, new technologies for analyzing the neuroanatomy of language have transformed the study of brain-language relations. To understand aphasia, one has to understand its neural basis. In a clinically relevant, straightforward manner, this text describes the neuroanatomical and neuropathologic bases and differential diagnosis of aphasia; neurologic, neuropsychologic, and language exams; the development of individualized treatment programs; the implementation of existing methods; and the neuropsychiatric, psychosocial, and legal aspects of aphasia.
