By Françoise Estienne, Henny-Annie Bijleveld, Anne Van Hout
More than any other pathology of language and speech, stuttering poses one of the fundamental questions of human behavior: the interaction between its innate part and its acquired part, the roles of heredity and of learning. The authors provide us with comprehensive, multidisciplinary and very current perspectives on psychology, a clinical evaluation and the presentation of the varieties of this disorder as well as the different treatments and their effectiveness. This completely revised 3rd edition takes into account the evolution of etiological research and advances in remediation; new themes are treated there such as: – Stuttering and the child with high potential – Multilingualism – Mindfulness – Medicines – Adjuvant devices – The media. A series of 160 exercises completes the book: exercises for children and parents; for adolescents; for adults. Exercises to be performed in individual sessions or in discussion groups. Contents: – Part 1: Historical and current data: 1. Stuttering: lexicology and history; 2. Stuttering and interpretive models; 3. Stuttering in its complexity; 4. Stuttering and associated pathologies in children; 5. Stuttering and neurology; 6. Stuttering and diagnosis. – Part 2: Stuttering and therapy: 7. How stutterers were badly treated and mistreated; 8.
