Stuttering, September 4, 2006
This review is from: Stuttering, an Integration of Contemporary Therapies (Publication - Speech Foundation of America ; no. 16) (Paperback)
Agreement about stuttering therapy has been a major objective of this Foundation and this book represents progress toward that objective.
In recent years most disagreement has boiled down to a preference for one of two major approaches.
Some clinicians have preferred to help stutterers learn not to avoid stuttering, but to approach it and to learn to stutter in simpler and easier ways.
Other clinicians have perferred to teach stutterers to speak in a fluent pattern that can be gradually shaped to normal sounding speech in all situations.
The authors of this book... show how it is possible and desirable to integrate and coordinate these two most commonly used therapy approaches in order to retain the advantages of both methods so as to obtain even more satisfactory results.
