Jergafasia: caso clínico

Three main questions to be highlighted refer to, first, the reduced effectiveness of standard tests and the need for them to be adapted on a case by case basis, making it difficult to conduct objective quantitative studies of patients evolution. Secondly, it's important to consider communication as a complex act comprising different elements which have to be managed, as there are many cases in which the treatment is focused and isolated on the sender -the aphasic patient- ignoring the rest of elements which can help to improve the communication process between patient and his/her environment. Third, it is necessary to consider the aphasic patient as subject affected not only by language disorders, but also emotional, physical and neuropsichological: isolated logopedy treatment is not achieving the same results as a treatment integrated into an interdisciplinary therapeutical plan.
