Synopsis

Understanding stuttering and lisping with clear, practical guidance for diagnosis and treatment.

This classic reference explains the nature of stuttering and lisping, with a focus on real‑world needs in schools and clinics. It combines clinical experience from large speech clinics with foundational work in experimental phonetics, offering readers a basis for correct diagnosis and effective treatment planning. The edition emphasizes that treatment should be guided by careful observation of symptoms, careful patient education, and practical strategies that can be implemented by physicians and teachers.

The work outlines how speech defects are assessed and addresses both the stuttering and lisping portions of speech, including systematic approaches to therapy, and steps for training teachers and clinicians to work with children. It also includes exercises, techniques, and illustrative material to support hands‑on practice in clinical and classroom settings.

• A framework for diagnosing stuttering and lisping, with clear criteria and careful observation.
• Thorough discussion of treatment methods, including practical applications for physicians and teachers.
• Guidance on organizing clinics, training instructors, and working with families.
• Exercises and methods designed to improve breathing, articulation, and overall speech fluency.

Ideal for readers who work with children in medical, educational, or therapeutic settings, as well as students of speech science seeking a historical, evidence‑driven perspective.
