Physical description
Biographical note
"Kenny"wais a female stroke patient who was aged 50 when Rita Simon worked with her between 1977-1979. Part of her brain was affected by the stroke and so at first she could not use the right side of the paper. Rita Simon said: "I was reluctant at first to work with geriatric patients, as I was an expert with children. But I received a request from a psychiatrist and I did it for seven months, I learned a lot."
This information and the quote are taken from conversations between Rita Simon and Wellcome staff between 1995 and 1997.
