Crystal is certainly as interested in words as you would expect: whenever he gets to an interesting new technical term in the book he pauses to gather his students around it while he takes its history and diagnoses the various incorrect ways it has been used over the years.
Otherwise, it's a rather simple book in structure, if not in content: Crystal first takes us through the theoretical clinical approaches that are relevant to language problems, then he discusses in quite some detail the physiological and psychological processes involved in producing and understanding language, and finally he looks at all the many ways things can go wrong, how those faults in the system manifest themselves and — in general terms — how they can be diagnosed. Obviously the aim is for students beginning in the field to gain an overview and learn what everything is called, and in that respect it looks as though it would be a very useful textbook. But not the 1988 edition I read, which must be far too out of date for anyone who actually needs to use this stuff. ( )
