ABSTRACT

We have worked with people who stammer for over 30 years. During that time we have learned a great deal from research, other clinicians, our own study and above all from clients. What any of us know about stammering is ever-changing, being challenged and redeveloped in the light of experience. This chapter represents some of our accumulated ideas and learning to date. We do not expect to feel exactly the same next month, next year or in five years’ time. Indeed, we hope we do not, for it would mean that this field of study had stopped developing and that we had stopped learning.
