Thorough and readable book for the developing clinician and others who work with people who stutter.:
This is a thorough and readable book designed for the emerging clinician. The author speaks from the point of view of a person who stutters as well as one well read in the research surrounding cause, nature and treatment of stuttering. I would be interested to hear from families of and people who stutter to see if this book is an appropriate, in-depth, resource for them as well.
Great product!:
