This is a thorough and readable book designed for the emerging clinician. The author speaks from the point of view of a person who stutters as well as one well read in the research surrounding cause, nature and treatment of stuttering.

I would be interested to hear from families of and people who stutter to see if this book is an appropriate, in-depth, resource for them as well.

I am using this book for one of my second year undergrad Speech Pathology classes and I am very pleased. This book is extremely easy to read yet it contains a lot of detail. It puts you in the shoes of a "stutterer" or "person who stutters", and it also puts you in the shoes of a Speech Therapist. It is very relatable. This is one of the first textbooks that I actually enjoy reading, it is hard to put down. Fascinating information about the world of stuttering; its causes, affects and treatments. I just wish that more people who stuttered would see a Speech Therapist so we could gather even more information about this rare speech disorder.

it is more complete, modern and usefull than the previous edition. it is always a pleasure to study this book, it really helps me reorganize my knowledge over this specific scientific field of Speech and Language Therapy

This book has been very informative and interesting for me. I now know so much more about stuttering! This book was easy to read and provided plenty of examples that helped with understanding!

bought the book for class; we will see how much I use it. Seems great!

Thanks!

Great book! Just as described came sealed in a bag and everything.

Thank you!

My son developed a moderate stuttering problem at age 5. I found the book helpful. It's not so much a guide for dealing with the problem (like do steps A, B, and C then you're cured) as it is a review of the current applied research. It's a lot more information than I've found anywhere else. It left us very prepared to talk with speech therapists.

In the end, I had to conclude that nobody is sure why this happens or whether early intervention really works.

My mother mentioned by change that I stuttered badly for a short time and recovered. The text discusses that there is a strong relationship within families. Sure enough, at age 5 1/2, my son's stuttering is down to almost nothing. It was quite a relief.

I received this book a week or two after purchase, and I was very pleased. The book was in perfect condition, no highlighting, tears, worn covers or anything. I was very pleased!

The comment which let the whole contents of the book pass also seem to be the introduction textbook for the circumstances of the old stammering research on stammering, an outline, and from now on aiming at a speech therapist. The explanation which compared the "phenomenon of stammering" near introduction to failure of a car also has description for which expression is not appropriate from the viewpoint of a researcher. Although equipment and theories which are considered to be ineffective are enumerated, a decisive place is not in logic. There is also no solution and I regret. In order to use it about clinical introduction, many partial old contents are seen. There is no persuasive power in the stammering clinical spot, and a person concerned and the remedy in connection with it, and it seemed to draw the ideal of theory. Although I am also a stammerer and was in contact with many stammering examples, I thought that most books described the right thing and were not necessarily doing it. The direction which aimed at that the importance of person-concerned research is important, "associating with stammering and superior and receiving", and QOL (Quality of Life) regards life as the ability to live with it being significant. I think if it grows into reference.
