Abstract
It is now more than a hundred years since the first serious attempts at rehabilitation by a neuropsychologist. Broca described in 1865 how he attempted in daily sessions to improve the word retrieval and reading abilities of an aphasic patient. Since 1945 there has been substantial increase in formal rehabilitation particularly in Europe and North America, where a high proportion of stroke survivors now receive some formal re-education (see Howard and Hatfield 1987). Yet even now there is little agreement about which treatment methods are appropriate and effective.
