Synopsis

This book delves into the psychological nature of stuttering. Prior scientific attention given to stuttering was exclusively medical, viewing it as an organic disorder. However, this book challenges that view, presenting stuttering as a psychological issue, with symptoms that are capable of being repeated at will. The author provides a detailed and nuanced exploration of the mental states associated with stuttering. The author draws upon both objective and subjective clinical observations to illustrate the physiological manifestations of stuttering, including breathing difficulties, vocalization issues, and involuntary movements. The book also examines the emotional and cognitive factors that contribute to stuttering, such as anxiety, inhibition, and self-consciousness. Crucially, the author does not limit the discussion to the pathology of stuttering but also explores the ways in which the condition can be managed and potentially overcome. Ultimately, this book offers a comprehensive and insightful examination of stuttering, shedding light on its causes, manifestations, and methods of remediation.
