Treatment efficacy: cognitive-communicative disorders resulting from traumatic brain injury in adults.

Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) may result in a broad array of cognitive-communicative impairments. Cognitive-communicative impairments are the result of deficits in linguistic and nonlinguistic cognitive functions. The speech-language pathologist functions as a member of the multidisciplinary team of professionals that collaboratively assess and treat individuals with TBI. The role of the speech-language pathologist includes assessment of all aspects of communication, as well as the communicative implications of cognitive deficits, and swallowing; treatment planning and programming, as determined by the individual's stage of recovery; client and family training/counseling; and interdisciplinary consultation. The effectiveness of speech and language intervention for specific cognitive deficits (e.g., attention, memory, executive functions) as well as general issues of social-skills training and early intervention are illustrated by scientific and clinical evidence from group-treatment and single-subject studies as well as case studies.

[Agitation expressing pain in demented people with communication disorders].

Subjects with severe dementia can no longer clearly communicate verbally. In these subjects, pain, frequently experienced by aged subjects, can be expressed by behavioral disturbances, especially agitation, one of the most frequent psychobehavioral disorder in dementia. Occurrence of sudden agitation or aggressive behavior should be investigated in search of a painful disorder. Use of behavioral scales for pain assessment may be highly recommended as well as careful analysis of the circumstances of apparition of agitation, clinical examination and laboratory investigations. A empirical analgesic trial be useful to relate agitation to pain.

Communicative intervention for children with psychiatric and communication disorders.

Many children and adolescents with psychiatric disorders exhibit severely compromised language and social communication systems. The nature and scope of their deficits make a multidisciplinary team approach essential to management in which improved functional and socially appropriate communication is a primary goal. For this reason SLPs generally play a key role in the intervention process and share responsibilities for the planning, coordination, and implementation of instructional-educational goals.

A case study in communication disorders.

Often, children with language disorders exhibit other more subtle delays or deviance in social, communicative, and cognitive development. By focusing on these three areas, the clinician can understand the developmental context in which the language delay manifests. This approach includes the following: gathering information, psychological and communicative examinations, psychiatric examination, and medical evaluation.

[Psychological mechanisms of communication disorders in schizophrenics and their relatives].

The study aimed at searching for mechanisms of communicative impairments in patients with schizophrenia and their relatives. To evaluate a contribution of attention and memory to communication efficacy and to ability for understanding mental states of others, 100 patients with schizophrenia and schizoaffective psychosis, 150 their healthy relatives and 145 controls have been studied. The results confirmed a presence of communicative deviations in the patients with schizophrenia and their relatives. In these groups, communication deficit was determined by disturbance of 1 out of 4 communication principles--the principle of information quantity. Attention and memory did not exert any significant influence on communication efficacy in the patients and their relatives. Distinct deterioration of fulfilling the tasks demanding mentalizing ability was found only in the patients. However, no correlation was revealed between this deterioration and communication peculiarities.
