Without Utterance: Tales from the Other Side of Language

After suffering a stroke and the onset of aphasia Dr. Ruth Resch engaged successfully in the difficult process of separating the 'verbal mind' from the visual mind, thereby providing a platform for arousing previously enjoyed pleasures in painting, drawing, and music which she views as central to the life of recovery. Dr. Resch describes her quest for meaningfulness in all aspects of daily life and how she has learned to use the environment as a source of fulfillment and well being. Her courage, integrity, and passion for the human spirit are an inspiration to us all. The book includes several of her paintings in full color.
