Journal of Medical Speech-Language Pathology: Voices: Collected Essays on Language, Laughter, and Life is a compilation of sixty-one of the best essays that Dr. LaPointe has written and published in the Journal of Medical Speech-Language Pathology over a period of years. Dr. LaPointe is a clinician, researcher and teacher in the field of communication disorders. The theme in all of these essays is the importance of communication to the human spirit. Some of these essays explore the vagaries and peculiarities of language as well as the values that allow us to enjoy reason, good science and fruitful daily living. This collection brings all of Dr. LaPointe's wisdom, insight and humor into one book and will provide inspiration to those who study or work in the field of speech-language pathology, as well as to anyone interested in the importance of communication to the human spirit.

Brain-Based Communication Disorders introduces the reader to the major clinically recognized types of acquired speech/language, cognitive, and swallowing disorders encountered by clinicians working with child and adult neurological cases. The text provides contemporary and state-of-the-art content on these disorders in terms of their neuropathological bases, clinical symptomatology, and prognosis. Basic anatomy and physiology of human communication and swallowing is introduced, as well as the neural mechanisms controlling speech, language, cognitive, and swallowing functions. In addition to the traditional acquired speech/language disorders of the nervous system (aphasia; neuromotor speech disorders) content including communication impairments caused by traumatic brain injury, multisystem blast injuries, and degenerative disorders of the nervous system is also provided. The reader is also introduced to the principles that govern the assessment and treatment for both pediatric and adult populations. No other book on the market provides a first year level coverage of the range of acquired neurological speech/language disorders like Brain-Based Communication Disorders. Relevant video clips supplement the text with real world illustrations. This book offers updated clinical management information useful for both the clinician in training and experienced practicing clinicians.

Edited by Dr. Leonard L. LaPointe, one of today's foremost teachers and practitioners in the field of speech-language pathology, this book offers a wealth of high-yield information for use in the classroom, exam preparation, and course review. It is essential for graduate and undergraduate students in speech-language pathology, audiology, and communication sciences, and will be a valued reference for any clinician working to understand the crucial connection between neuroanatomy and functional systems when treating patients with communication disorders.

Atlas of Neuroanatomy for Communication Science and Disorders

Thieme

Aphasia and Related Neurogenic Language Disorders

A beautifully illustrated atlas that provides robust speech-language pathology and audiology learning tools
Atlas of Neuroanatomy for Communication Science and Disorders, Second Edition, is based on the award-winning textbook Atlas of Anatomy and the work of Michael Schuenke, Erik Schulte, and Udo Schumacher. The updated text reflects advances in neuroscience and invaluable insights from Leonard L. LaPointe, one of the foremost teachers and practitioners in the field of brain-based communication disorders today. The book features beautiful illustrations from the recently published second edition of the Schuenke atlases and new content on cognition, higher cortical function, the spinal cord, structural damage, and clinic-pathological effects.
Divided into seven chapters, the book is presented in a logical framework, starting with a concise, illustrated overview of anatomy of the brain and nervous system. This approach ensures mastery of introductory concepts before readers move on to more advanced material. The text covers traditional acquired speech-language conditions such as aphasia and neuromotor speech disorders, cognition and swallowing disorders, communication impairments caused by traumatic brain injury, multisystem blast injuries, and degenerative disorders of the nervous system.
Key Highlights
<ul>
<li>More than 450 exquisitely rendered full-color illustrations delineate basic anatomy and physiology, multiple visual perspectives, and impacted and interrelated body structures</li>
<li>Descriptive legends and text bridge the gap between neuroanatomic principles and clinical applications</li>
<li>Tables, charts, and concise text clearly detail the role of anatomical structures in normal communication and what happens when they dysfunction</li>
</ul>
This remarkable atlas is essential reading for graduate and undergraduate students in speech-language pathology, audiology, and communication sciences. It will also greatly benefit clinicians who need to understand the crucial connection between neuroanatomy and functional systems when treating people with communication disorders. It should be on the bookshelf of every practicing clinician or student who deals with brain-based disorders.
This book includes complimentary access to a digital copy on https://medone.thieme.com.
