Synopsis
Excerpt from Stuttering and Lisping
In several European countries the state has estab lished special opportunities for treating children with speech defects, but the matter has not received the full attention justified by its importance. In most medical faculties no place is accorded to speech defects; the same is true in schools of pedagogy. This was formerly justified on the ground that a scientific study of speech and its defects did not exist. In the last decade, however, the science of phonetics has extended itself to laboratory work and university teaching; moreover, speech clinics have been established in sev eral of the foremost medical schools. The treatment of these defects thus stands upon an entirely new basis; namely, that of a carefully developed science of normal and pathological Speech.
The views here expressed as to the nature of stutter ing and lisping, and the methods Of treatment proposed are the results of three lines of work. The first is a long experience in experimental psychology in the laboratory of the University of Leipzig and later in my own laboratory at Yale University. The second is an almost equally long specialization in experimental phonetics, beginning at Yale and continued for four years in Germany under a grant from the Carnegie Institution Of Washington, D.C. Some Of the results involved were first stated in my lectures at the Uni versity of Marburg (germany). Finally, the treat ment of thousands of patients in the speech department of the Vanderbilt Clinic and in private practice has developed the methods into forms that produce the maximum result with the minimum expenditure Of time.
