Very useful but academic reading by Doug Lifer (San Francisco)  4 Stars
January 22, 2009
My son developed a moderate stuttering problem at age 5. I found the book helpful. It's not so much a guide for dealing with the problem (like do steps A, B, and C then you're cured) as it is a review of the current applied research. It's a lot more information than I've found anywhere else. It left us very prepared to talk with speech therapists.
In the end, I had to conclude that nobody is sure why this happens or whether early intervention really works.
My mother mentioned by change that I stuttered badly for a short time and recovered. The text discusses that there is a strong relationship within families. Sure enough, at age 5 1/2, my son's stuttering is down to almost nothing. It was quite a relief.

Very good book... by Mysti 5 Stars
January 13, 2009
I am using this book for one of my second year undergrad Speech Pathology classes and I am very pleased. This book is extremely easy to read yet it contains a lot of detail. It puts you in the shoes of a "stutterer" or "person who stutters", and it also puts you in the shoes of a Speech Therapist. It is very relatable. This is one of the first textbooks that I actually enjoy reading, it is hard to put down. Fascinating information about the world of stuttering; its causes, affects and treatments. I just wish that more people who stuttered would see a Speech Therapist so we could gather even more information about this rare speech disorder.

Thorough and readable book for the developing clinician and others who work with people who stutter. by C. Hook 5 Stars
February 08, 2008
This is a thorough and readable book designed for the emerging clinician. The author speaks from the point of view of a person who stutters as well as one well read in the research surrounding cause, nature and treatment of stuttering.
I would be interested to hear from families of and people who stutter to see if this book is an appropriate, in-depth, resource for them as well.
