Abstract
A controlled study of the comparative efficacy of intensive (daily) versus regular (three treatments weekly) speech therapy treatment in a group of global aphasics of vascular origin is reported. Application of psychometric single-case analysis showed that the number of patients reaching a significant improvement in all language modalities was greater in the intensive therapy group.Keywords
