Taking a realistic and clinical approach, the author provides an up-to-date, comprehensive review of the literature on all fluency disorders, not just stuttering. He clearly presents a base of knowledge regarding the symptomology, phenomenology, epidemiology, and development of the disorders, while acquainting the reader with a wide variety of viewpoints on their etiology and management.

Students who use this book will gain a realistic understanding of the impact of fluency disorders on children's and adults' lives and will be well-equipped with strategies for reducing both this negative impact and the abnormal disfluency.
