About this Item

Print on Demand. This book offers a reassessment of how we understand speech and its disorders. The author challenges the traditional view of the brain as a collection of isolated speech centers, arguing instead that speech is a complex process involving the whole brain. The author reviews the evolution of speech in children and the neurological development that supports it, arguing that speech development and intelligence go hand in hand. This revised understanding of the neural underpinnings of speech has important implications for our understanding of speech disorders such as aphasia, stuttering, and hearing mutism. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

About this title

Synopsis

New insights into how speech works and why it can fail have arrived in this in‑depth study. This nonfiction work, Aphasia and Associated Speech Problems, offers clear analysis for readers new to the topic and seasoned clinicians alike.

Drawing on clinical observation and theoretical review, the book reframes speech production by examining both the nervous system and the brain’s networks. It discusses why traditional ideas about language centers may miss important pieces of the puzzle, and it highlights the role of the cerebellum in human speech and its disorders. Through a careful synthesis of case material and existing theories, the text makes complex concepts accessible without oversimplifying them.

• Explores how speech develops from early vocalizations to intentional language.


• Examines aphasia, apraxia, and related speech problems with clinical context.


• Discusses the relationship between intelligence, emotion, and speech disorders.


• Includes a range of case studies and practical considerations for diagnosis and management.

Ideal for readers of neuroscience and clinical psychology, as well as students and professionals seeking a grounded, patient‑centered view of speech disorders.
