In the years prior to publication 'cures' for stuttering seemed to
appear constantly, but many were of limited value, were poorly
evaluated and gave only a temporary alleviation that was not
transferred to daily life. More responsible clinicians produced
publications expounding one particular approach to therapy but less
was available giving a balanced overview which was of practical
help to therapists. Originally published in 1983, this book aimed
to provide such an overview, with a focus on practical intervention
rather than on theory. The need for careful assessment is
particularly stressed and also the need for flexibility in the
choice of treatment for any one client. Changes in fluency are
looked at in relation to the effects they might have on the
person's life as a whole and factors involved in the maintenance of
this change are discussed. In addition, adjuncts to speech therapy,
such as drugs, hypnosis and various forms of masking are evaluated.
Issues of the training of therapists are raised and suggestions
made as to the nature of the therapeutic relationship when working
with people who stutter.
