Excerpt from The Genesis and Dissolution of the Faculty of Speech: A Clinical and Psychological Study of Aphasia
Aphasia has gone through many evolutionary stages. After the first wave of its universal recognition had sub sided, it came to be looked upon as a symptom with an established seat and an accompaniment of definite lesions. I As the literature of the subject grew and the cases with anomalfius symptom complexes became more numerous, it was seen that they did not fit in with the simple con ceptions Of those who stood sponsors for its original recognition. This, coupled with the apparent ambition of almost every one who wrote on the subject to adopt a new nomenclature, soon robbed the symptom of its attributed pristine simplicity, and showed it to be in reality one Of the most complex subjects with which the physician and psychologist had to deal.
