本书全面回顾了主要的后天阅读障碍：偏盲症、纯失读症和中枢性失读症。作者回顾了每种不同类型疾病的诊断标准，以及试图补救这些疾病的治疗研究的功效。还讨论和评估了成人阅读的不同理论模型，这些模型很大程度上取决于阅读系统如何应对伤害。深入讨论了中风和脑肿瘤引起的局灶性脑损伤以及痴呆症对阅读的影响。本书首先介绍正常阅读的章节，然后是偏盲失读症、纯失读症和中枢性失读症的章节，每章的结构都相同，包括： 对病情的描述；对迄今为止案件的历史回顾；心理物理学；考虑致病病变；来自对患者的功能成像研究的证据，最重要的是，对治疗每种疾病的证据基础进行审查。最后，有一章介绍患者数据如何影响我们对阅读的看法。 《Alexia：诊断、治疗和理论》面向神经心理学家（实验和临床）、神经病学家、言语治疗师和其他处理阅读能力受到后天性脑损伤影响的患者的人，以及对研究语言障碍感兴趣的学生。
This book is a comprehensive review of the main acquired disorders of reading: hemianopic, pure and central alexia. The authors review the diagnostic criteria for each of the different types of disorder, and the efficacy of the therapeutic studies that have attempted to remediate them. The different theoretical models of adult reading, which largely rest on how the reading system responds to injury, are also discussed and evaluated. Focal brain injury caused by stroke and brain tumors are discussed in depth as are the effects of dementia on reading. This book starts with a chapter on normal reading, followed by chapters on hemianopic alexia, pure alexia and central alexia, each structured in the same way, with: a description of the condition; a historical review of cases to date; psychophysics; consideration of the causative lesions; evidence from functional imaging studies on patients and, most importantly, a review of the evidence base for treating each condition. Finally, there is a chapter on how patient data has informed how we think about reading. Alexia: Diagnosis, Treatment and Theory is aimed at neuropsychologists (both experimental and clinical), neurologists, speech therapists and others who deal with patients whose reading has been affected by an acquired brain injury, as well as interested students studying language disorders.
