Review:

"Manning is one of the few authors who can present the disorder of stuttering to readers who do not stutter in a way that makes sense. This text presents the totality of the stuttering disorder in way that is logical, comprehensive, and supported by evidence (from multiple sources)."

"This text is by far the most useful text book that I have my students read. We read it from cover-to-cover and spend a great deal of time discussing the unique way that Dr. Manning describes the role of the clinician in the assessment and treatment of stuttering. This book teaches students not only how to work with persons who stutter - but how to become a knowledgeable, caring, professional clinician."
