- "Assessing
and Managing unawareness of self" McKay
Moore Sohlberg, Ph.D, Seminars in Speech and language,
vol.21,n.2 2000. Uno scarso recupero spontaneo e una ridotta
compliance nel processo riabilitativo sono frequentemente
associati ad una ridotta o assente consapevolezza da parte
del paziente circa la natura, la gravita' e le conseguenze
dei propri deficit neurologici. Come identificare e gestire
la complessita' dei problemi legati a tale deficit? L'articolo
offre una ampia revisione critica delle conoscenze attuali
circa questo tipo di deficit (lesione di specifiche aree
cerebrali coinvolte nella "consapevolezza",
coinvolgimento di funzioni cognitive come memoria, attenzione,
problem solving, reazione psicologica), le varieta' cliniche,
gli strumenti di valutazione, e i programmi
riabilitativi piu' efficaci.

"Cognitive
flexibility: Theory, Assessment and Treatment",
Barbara Rende, Ph.D., Seminars in Speech and language,
vol. 21, n.2, 2000. Che cosa e' la flessibilita'
cognitiva? Come si valuta ? Come si puo' intervenire?
E' esperienza comune tra i terapisti del linguaggio
scoprire che molte persone con disordini della comunicazione
manifestano una scarsa flessibilita' cognitiva.
Nonostante il suo ruolo fondamentale nelle relazioni
sociali, abbiamo poche conoscenze sulla sua natura:
quali sono le componenti cognitive coinvolte? Esistono
forme diverse di flessibilita' cognitiva ? Quale
tipo di flessibilita' cognitiva e' compromessa nell'afasia
e con quali strumenti si valuta? Quali sono le strategie
di intervento piu' efficaci ? Quali comportamenti
poco flessibili sono causa di una comunicazione
poco efficace ? Per rispondere a tali questioni
l'Autrice propone una analisi qualitativa dei comportamenti
flessibili e non flessibili osservati in setting
clinici ed ecologici, utile per identificare le
modalita' piu' efficaci di trattamento della ridotta
flessibilita' cognitiva in persone con disordini
della comunicazione.

Research
Update 2002: Aphasia Therapy in the New Millenium.
K. LUNDGREN and M. L. ALBERT, National Aphasia
Association Newsletter Volume 14, Number 1 Spring
2002. This article highlights national and international
developments in aphasia therapy research over
the past two years. We will focus on three areas:
1 ) the emergence of nontraditional treatments
for aphasia, 2) the need to place aphasia treatment
within the context of the complex brain mechanisms
involved in the recovery process as well as the
need for clinicians to apply theoretical frameworks
in deciding the course of patient treatment, and
3) developments in the frontiers of neuroscience.

Update from the 31st Annual Clinical Aphasiology
Conference by Jacqueline Hinckley, PhD
Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders,
University of South Florida. The 31st Annual Clinical
Aphasiology Conference was held in Santa Fe, NM
from May 29th to June 2, 2001. National Aphasia
Association Newsletter Volume 13, Number 2 Fall
2001, CLINICAL APHASIOLOGY TOPICS. This annual
meeting focuses on various aspects of aphasia
and provides an opportunity for clinical researchers
around the country to share the results of their
latest projects. Speech-language pathologists
and psycholinguists gave presentations on a number
of different topics, including the social ramifications
of aphasia, as well as treatment for apraxia,
the neurological correlates of writing and spelling,
and projects that investigate the deficits in
processing sentences. This kind of research moves
us forward toward designing and selecting the
most effective treatments for people with aphasia
and also helping us to understand more clearly
the problems associated with various types of
aphasia.
