Language, Aphasia and the Right HemisphereIn a relatively short time our view of the role of the right cerebral hemisphere in behaviour, and in language in particular, has been revolutionized by recent research which suggests a sophisticated brain right hemisphere which is not inferior or minor, but has its own specialized responsibilities for language processing. This book presents a cautious and critical review of developments and its application to concepts and treatment of aphasia. |
