The study investigates the effect of speech therapy on the mood of aphasic stroke patients and their spouses. Patients were randomly allocated to receive speech therapy for 24 weeks starting at 10 weeks post stroke. Patient's mood was measured by means of simple rating scales and an adjective checklist. The mood of relatives was measured by The Goldberg General Health Questionnaire and The Wakefield Depression Inventory. Whereas depression and anxiety were surprisingly uncommon in aphasic patients, many spouses suffered depression and minor psychiatric disturbances. There were no significant differences between treated and untreated patients and their spouses on any measure. Speech therapy was not shown to have any psychological benefits.
该研究调查了言语治疗对失语性中风患者及其配偶情绪的影响。患者在中风后10周开始被随机分配接受为期24周的言语治疗。通过简单的评分量表和形容词清单来测量患者的情绪。通过戈德堡综合健康问卷和韦克菲尔德抑郁量表来测量亲属的情绪。尽管失语症患者中抑郁和焦虑出人意料地不常见，但许多配偶患有抑郁症和轻度精神障碍。在任何测量指标上，接受治疗和未接受治疗的患者及其配偶之间均无显著差异。未显示言语治疗有任何心理益处。
