| Summary: |
This program is a narrative example of the adjustment and treatment of two aphasic patients. Its purpose is to depict the frustrations and communication difficulties that accompany this condition. The program begins by illustrating the case of a nurse who, through an accident, acquires global aphasia accompanied by hemianopia. She displays depressive behavior and an unwillingness to undergo treatment. The second case illustrates a young father with aphasia who shows an earnest effort for rehabilitation but responds poorly due to lack of understanding from his family. As a method of rehabilitation, these two patients are placed in therapy sessions for improving mechanical skills, speech, and comprehension. Initially, they are doubtful and unwilling, but eventually there is some improvement. Group therapy serves as an additional method for patients to help one another overcome the frustrations of aphasia. |
