Summary This paper investigates the mutual influence which dysphasic stroke patients and their relatives have on each other. Evidence is presented which indicates some of the difficulties a spouse might have and their repercussions for the patient. The method used, structures interview data and produces a graphical representation of the relationship. This provides an overview which is easily understood and thus helps the spouse to decide how best to cope. The paper concludes with a discussion of the advantages of using this system as an adjunct to speech therapy.
