Aphasia is a language impairment which can result from a stroke. This volume draws on in-depth interviews with aphasic people to explore the experience of aphasia from the onset of stroke and loss of language to the gradual revelation of its long-term consequences. The interviewees describe the impact of aphasia on their employment, education, leisure activities, finances, personal relationships and identity. They also describe their changing needs and how well these have been met by health, social care and other services as well as the barriers they have encountered in everyday life.

What is aphasia; "is frightened, is frightened" - the early experience of stroke and aphasia; "the thing is what job?" - work, leisure and aphasia; "can I get a word in edgeways?" - family, friends and aphasia; "lost in the undertow" - health, social care and voluntary services for people with aphasia; "everything seems a secret" - information and aphasia; "doing the inside work" - the meaning of aphasia; "they cannot see it or how will they know?" - aphasia and disability; "I'm fed up of saying I'm sorry" - learning to live with aphasia. Appendix 1 About the project.
