Journal of Clinical Practice in Speech-Language Pathology

unique perspectives through combining discussion

of current research with insights gained from clinical

experience. These insights help the text achieve its aim of

promoting the idea of an excellent clinician by providing

information that few other textbooks draw explicit attention

to. A simple example of this comes early on where Hallowell

discusses the sometimes quirky and humorous nature

of errors in aphasia and the shared appreciation of these

instances between the person with aphasia and speech-

language pathologist. Similarly, chapters describing specific

intervention approaches for different aspects of language

rehabilitation are particularly clear and helpful, in providing

a simple step-by-step guide to implementation, along

with general principles and an overview of the research

evidence.

As with many texts published by Plural, there is perhaps

a slight emphasis on research evidence generated within

the United States in preference to other parts of the world,

although this is not to say that the research cited is not high

quality. Some readers may also have only a passing interest

when discussion turns to issues around reimbursement,

Medicare, and Medicaid, although Hallowell is mindful to

acknowledge differences in health care systems across

major English-speaking countries such as Australia and the

United Kingdom.

Overall, there is a lot to appreciate about this new and

ambitious text. Although many other texts may explore

the nature, description, assessment, and intervention of

aphasia in much finer and rigorous detail, few, if any, texts

offer such an effective and engaging balance between

current knowledge and clinical insight.

Along the way the topics explored reflect current trends and

priority areas such as language in the context of ageing,

cultural competence in view of increasing immigration

patterns, apps for intervention, and complementary and

integrative approaches to intervention.

Even within chapters that explore familiar topics, such

as the ICF and its application to aphasia and cognitive-

communication, assessment tools and methods, and

theories and approaches to intervention, Hallowell offers
