Summary

Taking a realistic and clinical approach, the author provides an up-to-date, comprehensive review of the literature on all fluency disorders, not just stuttering. He clearly presents a base of knowledge regarding the symptomology, phenomenology, epidemiology, and development of the disorders, while acquainting the reader with a wide variety of viewpoints on their etiology and management. Students who use this book will gain a realistic understanding of the impact of fluency disorders on children's and adults' lives and will be well-equipped with strategies for reducing both this negative impact and the abnormal disfluency. FEATURES - A unique review of the management literature on other fluency disorders, including cluttering, neurogenic acquired stuttering, psychogenic acquired stuttering, spastic dysphonia, sign-language stuttering, horn stuttering, and malingered stuttering provides the information that students need in diagnosing and/or treating fluency disorders other than stuttering. - Appendices provide practical information for use in clinical applications, such as developing questionnaires for gathering report templates, recording evaluation data, and constructing evaluation sentences and paragraphs. - Thoroughly updated review of the literature on the topic of stuttering and other fluency disorders.
