About the Archive

About this archive

Welcome to Clinical Aphasiology, an archive of papers presented at the Conference on Clinical Aphasiology. Since 1971, the Clinical Aphasiology Conference has provided an important forum for the exchange of information related to diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of persons with communication impairments - primarily those of aphasia but also including a restricted range of related disorders.

A brief history of Clinical Aphasiology publications was published in 1995. Following the annual publication of the peer-reviewed manuscripts published by BRK Publishers (those manuscripts derived from those presented at the annual meeting of the Clinical Aphasiology Conference), the accumulation of these manuscripts has passed through a number of transitional publishers before arriving at its current publication in the journal Aphasiology by Psychology Press, part of the Taylor & Francis Group. These publishers are clearly referenced for all manuscripts. These earlier publications (save the single year in which the manuscripts were published by the American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology) are currently all out of print and none are in the public domain. They currently reside in the hands of a diminishing number of individuals. With the opening of this archive, these valuable manuscripts will be available to the public and will record a productive history of research and scholarship stimulated in large measure by the annual meeting of the Clinical Aphasiology Conference.

At present, only the manuscripts derived from these publications are contained within this site. They have been entered by, and at the sole expense of the University Library System, University of Pittsburgh, with the permission of the Steering Committee of the Clinical Aphasiology Conference and with the written permission of all previous publishers.
