ABSTRACT
Following the authors visit to OZ and armed with new-found hope, they recommended that he attend local hospital's brain injury survivor group sessions to address his speech and language problems. He should count himself lucky that his speech and language issues were relatively minor, as would be shown by these group sessions. Other issues on display included tangential tendencies, going off on an unrelated topic, or circumlocution, talking around subject. Sometimes, he felt that their group was like an ideal case study for speech and language therapists. His group consisted of a rather taciturn man, a more verbose male and a quiet and unassuming lady. Several weeks after visiting OZ, his National Health Service (NHS) psychologist further discussed importance of modelling with the author in a more personalised manner than Daniel Kahneman in Thinking Fast and Slow. In addition to self-confidence issues, the most visible sign that something was wrong in this group was that many suffered from word-finding difficulties.
