Abstract

Of all the symptoms associated with aphasia, anomia may be the most pervasive. Virtually all individuals with aphasia have some degree of word-finding difficulty. Even when an individual experiences significant recovery in aphasia, anomic deficits typically remain, resulting in frustration for the anomic individual, their communication partners, and the clinicians attempting to treat them. This volume in the Foundations of Neuropsychology Series, devoted entirely to naming and its disorders, provides a welcome review incorporating current clinical findings and theoretical viewpoints.
