But how does one go about simultaneously improving communication and positive identity development within aphasia therapy? Socially oriented group therapy for aphasia has been touted as one means of addressing both psychosocial and communicative goals in aphasia.<\/jats:p><jats:p> <jats:italic>Aims:<\/jats:italic> This article describes the results of a sociolinguistic analysis of group therapy for aphasia in which positive personal and group identity are skilfully negotiated.<\/jats:p><jats:p> <jats:italic>Methods &amp; Procedures:<\/jats:italic> Sociolinguistic microanalysis of discourse in a group therapy session was undertaken. The session, described as group conversation therapy, included eight adults with aphasia, a speech\u2013language pathologist and an assistant. The session was videotaped and transcribed, and the data were analysed to identify \u2018indices of identity\u2019 within the discourse. This included discourse that exposed members' roles, values or beliefs about themselves or others. The data were further analysed to identify \u2018patterns\u2019 of discourse associated with identity. The result is a detailed description of identity\u2010enhancing discourse within group therapy for aphasia.<\/jats:p><jats:p> <jats:italic>Outcomes &amp; Results:<\/jats:italic> The findings included several categories associated with the negotiation of identity in therapy including: (1) discourse demonstrating that group members were \u2018being heard\u2019, (2) that the competence of group members was assumed, (3) that \u2018solidarity\u2019 existed in the group, (4) that saving face and promoting positive personal identity was important, and (5) that markers of group identity were made visible via discourse that referenced both member inclusion as well as non\u2010member exclusion.<\/jats:p><jats:p> <jats:italic>Conclusions &amp; Implications:<\/jats:italic> The results suggest that it is possible to create identity\u2010enhancing interactions as part of therapy for aphasia; the analysis demonstrates the potential role of the group leader\/clinician in managing identity negotiation in aphasia therapy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3109\/13682822.2010.507616","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,9,17]],"date-time":"2010-09-17T08:07:52Z","timestamp":1284710872000},"page":"312-323","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":45,"title":["Negotiation of identity in group therapy for aphasia: the Aphasia Caf\u00e9"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"46","author":[{"given":"Nina","family":"Simmons\u2010Mackie","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Roberta J.","family":"Elman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,5,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/02687030701192364"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","volume-title":"Structures of Social Action","author":"Atkinson J.
