ABSTRACT
Therapy, by contrast, is often seen as intuitive and imprecise; as neurologists have increasingly abandoned aphasia therapy for the diagnosis and investigation of lower-level brain functions, aphasia therapy has increasingly become a specialist, but rather less respectable occupation in the eyes of the scientific world. Treatment has become much less closely tied to neurology and medicine; instead many therapists frame their ideas in terms of theories from the different psychological and linguistic sciences. All of these approaches assume that the task in treatment is to relearn missing information. Although most of the remedial methods derive ultimately from the traditions of Hermann Gutzmann and Emil Froschels they have come to be applied much less rigidly, and multiple repetition no longer takes so central a role in treatment. Braun's suggestions for each of the seven forms of aphasia are accompanied by details of treatment of actual cases, with a variety of aetiologies.
