Keywords:
aphasia, mourning, speech therapy, language clinicAbstract
In the clinical work with aphasics the speech-language pathologist confronts a patient about the effect of a before and after neurological event, and therefore suffering with a new linguistic condition. The mourning for the loss of a position in the language is experienced and has effects in the speech-language therapy. The subjective drama instilled by aphasia is a theoretical issue articulated to mourning that deserves refinement. Thus, this article presents a bibliographical review on the aphasic in the Language Clinic and the confrontation of a mourning in front of its new linguistic/subjective condition.
