This is a comprehensive resource book for treating adults who
stammer. Completely revised and updated to take account of current
practice, this new edition draws together the latest information on
therapy for adults along with practical examples of exercises,
tasks and activities that can be used for both individual and group
programmes. With new chapters and therapy ideas, this is an
extremely useful resource for all speech & language therapists
and students working with adults who stammer. This useful resource
seeks to explain techniques for treating people who stammer and the
rationale for their use. This volume forms a catalogue of treatment
options from which clinicians may choose to use all of the
techniques or pick out particular sections according to their
clients' special requirements. The first edition of this book
proved to be a very useful tool for speech and language
professionals, and this new edition has come about largely because
clinicians, speech and language therapists and teachers have
requested it. With the inclusion of 50 photocopiable handouts and
the presentation of the chapters in the order they would use with
their own group programmes, the authors set out the principles of
therapy in such a way that the treatment techniques fit into a
clear management approach. Trudy Stewart is a specialist in
dysfluency and has been a service manager since 1986. She studied
in America and obtained her PhD in 1991. Jackie Turnbull retired
from SLT in July 2009 after 40 years in the profession, over 35 of
which were spent as a specialist in dysfluency, working with
children and adults. She also worked for many years as a staff
counsellor in a large hospital. The collaboration that has grown up
between the two of them has sparked further study in stammering.
Together they have developed a highly creative clinical practice
which has national recognition.
This extensively revised edition is now an up-to-date clinical
text, with ideas on relating theory to current practice. It is an
invaluable resource for those working with children who are
dysfluent, containing revised chapters on all stages of dysfluency
and practical ideas and suggestions for therapeutic approaches.
Areas covered include: development of stammering; assessment of
children who are dysfluent; early dysluency; borderline stammering;
confirmed stammering; group therapy; and working with nurseries and
schools.
