University Libraries Promotion and Tenure Recognition

How one’s identity changes after an event like a stroke is so important, but it is often overlooked in rehabilitation, especially for individuals with aphasia. Debra’s experience as a professor at Stanford studying identity provides a rich backdrop for framing her experience and others’ experiences with stroke and aphasia. This unique insight has enriched both my research and clinical practice and I hope future generations of clinicians and researchers find this book as impactful as I have.
