This highly readable, clinically oriented book combines theory and therapy and examines all facets of stuttering, from possible etiologies through assessment to treatment.
This highly readable, clinically oriented handbook combines theory and therapy and examines all facets of stuttering, from possible etiologies through assessment to treatment.

While considerable uncertainty still exists regarding the precise cause(s) of stuttering, Conture provides the reader with an even-handed coverage of fundamental knowledge, methodology, and procedures for effectively dealing with stuttering in children, teenagers, and adults. The book goes beyond a “how to” manual. Rather, Conture's clinical handbook provides both students and clinicians a source for principle-based procedures and strategies for the management of stuttering. Focusing on people who stutter as people first and people who stutter second, the text covers assessment and management of stuttering within the realities of everyday living, concomitant speech and language problems and clinical practice.

All chapters, except 6, conclude with a “Summary.”
