Of all the symptoms associated with aphasia, anomia
may be the most pervasive. Virtually all individuals with
aphasia have some degree of word-finding difficulty. Even
when an individual experiences significant recovery in
aphasia, anomic deficits typically remain, resulting in
frustration for the anomic individual, their communication
partners, and the clinicians attempting to treat them.
This volume in the Foundations of Neuropsychology Series,
devoted entirely to naming and its disorders, provides
a welcome review incorporating current clinical findings
and theoretical viewpoints.
