For example………………….
“PG was frustrated that a previous facility had terminated therapy because the severity of his aphasia no longer affected ‘basic’ communicative skills. PG literally shouted to us, “I am not functional!”
This retired dentist told us that he could no longer maintain his premorbid role as the joke teller, debater, or group discussant at social or business functions. He pleaded with us to enrol him .. so that he could have a chance to regain his personality.”
