THE HANDBOOK OF ADULT
LANGUAGE DISORDERS
The Handbook of Adult Language Disorders is the essential guide to the scientific and clinical tenets
of aphasia study and treatment. It focuses on how language breaks down after focal brain damage,
what patterns of impairment reveal about normal language, and how recovery can be optimally
facilitated. It is unique in that it reviews studies from the major disciplines in which aphasia
research is conducted—cognitive neuropsychology, linguistics, neurology, neuroimaging, and
speech-language pathology—as they apply to each topic of language. For each language domain,
there are chapters devoted to theory and models of the language task, the neural basis of the
language task (focusing on recent neuroimaging studies) and clinical diagnosis and treatment of
impairments in that domain. In addition, there is broad coverage of approaches to investigation
and treatment from leading experts, with several authors specializing in two or more disciplines.
This second edition focuses on characterizing the cognitive and neural processes that account for
each variant of aphasia as a first step toward developing effective rehabilitation, given that aphasia
is one of the most common and disabling consequences of stroke.
The best and most authoritative handbook in the field, The Handbook of Adult Language Disorders
is the definitive reference for clinicians and researchers working in the scientific investigation of
aphasia.
Argye E. Hillis is a Professor of Neurology, with joint faculty appointments in Physical Medi-
cine 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 cur-
rent 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 cogni-
tive 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.
