Stuttering: Foundations and Clinical Applications

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.
