Analysis of Neurogenic Disordered Discourse Production: From Theory to Practice

'This volume fills a void in the literature at a time when there is growing interest in assuring that treatment of acquired language disorders makes meaningful change at the discourse level. In addition to providing the most thorough resource on the collection and analysis of discourse in neurogenic populations, Dr. Kong provides readers with an excellent overview of treatment approaches that are thought to impact discourse. This text is a gold mine for the clinician or researcher interested in focusing on discourse-level language; for students, it’s a wonderful supplement to any existing aphasia textbook.' - Gail Ramsberger, Sc.D., CCC-SLP, Board Certified-ANCDS, Chair and Associate Professor, Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences, University of Colorado

'Dr. Kong's volume provides a thorough, accessible introduction to impairments of discourse―central to human communication―in patients with aphasia and dementia. It is rich in detail, case examples, and references to useful tools for elicitation, assessment, treatment, and research.' - Loraine K. Obler, Ph.D., Distinguished Professor, Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences, CUNY Graduate Center

'Esteemed scholar Kong has created a detailed, modern text on the topic of aphasia. ... While the text is an intensive treatment of the topic, the reader will find that the language is accessible. ... Particularly impressive are the chapters on multimodal and multilevel analyses and on multilingual and multicultural populations. This book is highly recommended as a stand-alone text or a textbook supplement for graduate students, researchers, and clinical practitioners in speech-language pathology and cognitive or clinical psychology who are interested in the research or treatment of neurogenic discourse production disorders.' -Choice Magazine, K.
