This book addresses the treatment interventions for stuttering including critical comparisons of treatments and their valid implementation by clinicians. It is a resource for high level speech pathology graduate programs, potentially in tandem with Guitar - "Stuttering, 3e" for comprehensive stuttering courses, and as the sole primary text for treatment courses.

Reviews

The University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM, 01-JAN-09, Amy Neel -- "The two chapters I read absolutely fill a need in my course. This is the first chapter I've seen that really brings together all the latest information on neuroimaging and stuttering. The summary chapter does a wonderful job of finding commonalities among current approaches to stuttering treatment."-Amy Neel, The University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM Saint Xavier University, Chicago, IL, Karen Czarnik -- "Looking at the table of contents this text covers a variety of areas that are not currently covered in the text I use. In my course, I generally need to add information on specific approaches to intervention and on pharmacology/neurophysiology which are contained in this text."-Karen Czarnik, Saint Xavier University, Chicago, IL
