Stuttering: Foundations and Clinical Applications, Third Edition
presents a comprehensive overview of the science and treatment of
stuttering in a single text. The book offers a unique level of coverage
of the stuttering population, the disorder’s features, and the therapies
offered for different ages. Written for both undergraduate and graduate
level audiences, the authors guide students to critically appraise
different viewpoints about the nature of stuttering, understand the
disorder’s complexities, and learn about the major clinical approaches
and therapies appropriate for different age groups.
This
evidence-based textbook is divided into three distinct sections. Part
I, Nature of Stuttering, offers descriptive information about
stuttering, including its demographics and developmental pathways. Part
II explores the various explanations of stuttering, giving students an
understanding of why people stutter. Part III focuses on clinical
management, delving into the assessment of both adults and children, as
well as various age-appropriate intervention approaches. In the final
chapter, the authors explore other fluency disorders, as well as
cultural and bilingual issues.
