Fascinating stuff. My experience of working with stroke survivors who have difficulty with word finding is that they respond really well to working with metaphors. Of course, I quite like them too. Useful for unleashing stuck creativity and often very surprising. Must be to do with the different pathways in the brain and unconscious projections or something. I think.
