Reviews

The new edition of this handbook, already established as the most comprehensive overview of language disorders, incorporates all the recent advances provided by cognitive neuroscience research. It will be an invaluable reference for research and teaching for years to come. -Stefano F. Cappa, M.D., Institute for Advanced Studies, Pavia, Italy Dr. Argye E. Hillis must be congratulated for getting together this updated second edition of the authoritative handbook. It provides comprehensive expert coverage of the field and will become a key resource for clinicians and researchers working in aphasia. -Chris Code, Ph.D., FRCSLT, FBPsS, University of Exeter, UK The Handbook of Adult Language Disorders provides a thorough overview of aphasia and related disorders. Dr. Argye E. Hillis, is one of the most preeminent scholars in the field of aphasiology and she has assembled an impressive group of contributors. What is particularly nice here is the clear link that is made between basic research and diagnosis and treatment of aphasic impairments. This volume makes for an excellent textbook for classes in communication science and disorders as well as a desk reference for practicing clinicians. -Julius Fridriksson, Ph.D., Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders and McCausland Center for Brain Imaging, University of South Carolina, USA An impressive integration of basic science, theory, and clinical practice. Students of language science-not just language disorders- will find this to be a valuable resource. -Gregory S. Hickok, Ph.D., Department of Cognitive Sciences and Center for Language Science, University of California Irvine, USA

Author Information

Argye E. Hillis is a Professor of Neurology, with joint faculty appointments in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and in Cognitive Science at Johns Hopkins University. Dr. Hillis serves as the Executive Vice Chair of the Department of Neurology, and Director of the Cerebrovascular Division of Neurology. Prior to medical training and neurology residency, she trained in the fields of speech-language pathology and cognitive neuropsychology, spent a decade in rehabilitation of aphasia, and conducted clinical research focusing on understanding and treating aphasia. Her current research combines longitudinal task-related and task-free functional imaging and structural imaging from the acute stage of stroke through the first year of recovery, with detailed cognitive and language assessments to improve our understanding how language and other cognitive functions recover after stroke. Her other avenue of research involves developing novel treatment strategies for aphasia.
