In the second volume, the authors delve deeper into the intricacies of bridging the gap between clinical therapy and the lived experiences of those with aphasia. Each contributor shares their clinical practices, offering a glimpse into their therapeutic approaches and the reasoning behind them. Topics covered include innovative techniques for enhancing communication, respecting patient autonomy, and the long-term rehabilitation of individuals with acquired head injuries.

The final chapter of The Aphasia Therapy File stands out by providing a methodology for documenting and analyzing therapy outcomes. This section encourages readers to engage critically with therapy practices, fostering a deeper understanding of what works and why. Overall, this resource is essential for anyone involved in aphasia therapy, offering a wealth of knowledge and practical strategies for effective intervention.

"Another excellent volume in what will hopefully be an ongoing series related to clinical aphasiology, the book presents an eclectic mix of aphasia treatment programs, with an over-arching and obvious interest in matching treatments to the individual needs of people with aphasia. The case based nature of the content provides a rare perspective in an aphasia text. It is informative and current, utilizing both impairment and social approaches to aphasia therapy." - Elizabeth Armstrong, Department of Linguistics, Macquarie University
