ABSTRACT
Following on from the identification of overt features, this chapter continues the process of identification with the focus on the intrinsic or covert features of stammering. We consider these features to be some of the most significant in terms of maintaining the disorder. If they are not managed in a timely way there are concerns that, even if the overt features are temporarily reduced, these covert features will reappear at some later date and the client may return to clinic seeking further help.
