Human Neuropsychology

Abstract

The child who is slow to talk makes his parents anxious and induces a sense of frustration in his doctors and teachers.Reassurance and encourage- ment are fortunately sufficient in most cases.But in those instances where there is a true dysphasia, every stage of the child's management from diagnosis to treatment is difficult.For the doctor it is often made more difficult by the scarcely penetrable maze of jargon used by some aphasiologists.Zangwill's introduction to this study is a model of comprehensibility, and the other authors are generally successful in conveying their meaning without re- course to idiosyncratic terminology.The closely allied condition, developmental dyslexia, has gone through various phases of acceptability to gain neurological respectability.Perhaps this short and essentially practical book will do the same for developmental dysphasia.
