OverviewThe revised edition of A Handbook on Stuttering continues its remarkable role as the authoritative, first-line resource for researchers and clinicians who work in the field of fluency and stuttering. Now in its seventh edition, this unique book goes beyond merely updating the text to include coverage of roughly 1,000 articles related to stuttering research and practice that have been published since 2008. This extended coverage integrates the more traditional body of research with evolving views of stuttering as a multi-factorial, dynamic disorder. Comprehensive, clear, and accurate, this text provides evidence-based, practical information critical to understanding stuttering. By thoroughly examining the intricacies of the disorder, A Handbook on Stuttering lays the foundation needed before considering assessment and treatment. New to the Seventh Edition: * A completely reorganized table of contents, including two new chapters. * The deletion of approximately 1,000 non-peer-reviewed references from the previous edition to assure discussion of the highest quality evidence on stuttering. * New content on the development of stuttering across the lifespan and assessment. * Given the Handbook's historic role as a primary reference for allied professionals, a new chapter that addresses myths and misconceptions about stuttering * Expanded coverage on role of temperament in childhood stuttering * Expanded coverage of brain-based research, genetics, and treatment findings. * A thoroughly updated chapter on conditions under which stuttering fluctuates * Brief tutorial overviews of critical concepts in genetics, neuroimaging, language analysis and other relevant constructs, to better enable reader appreciation of research findings. * A greater selection of conceptual illustrations of basic concepts and findings than in prior editions * Integrated cross-referencing to content across chapters * A PluralPlus companion website showing the deleted content from the previous edition Full Product DetailsAuthor: Oliver Bloodstein , Nan Bernstein Ratner , Shelley B.

Treatment References IndexReviewsAuthor InformationOliver Bloodstein, PhD, CCC-SLP, was Emeritus Professor of Speech and former director of the program in speech-language pathology and audiology at Brooklyn College of the City University of New York. One of the first generation of speech and hearing scientists to graduate from the first doctoral program in our discipline at the University of Iowa, his contributions to the field of fluency and fluency disorders were unique and inspired multiple succeeding generations of researchers, continuing to this day. His entire career was spent in research, teaching, and clinical work on stuttering and he wrote extensively on the subject. He was a Fellow of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and the recipient of its highest award, the Honors of the Association.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Nan Bernstein Ratner, EdD, CCC, is Professor in the Department of Hearing and Speech Sciences, University of Maryland at College Park. With degrees in Child Studies, Speech-Language Pathology, and Applied Psycholinguistics, she is the editor of numerous volumes, and author of numerous chapters and articles addressing stuttering as well as child language acquisition/disorders. Dr. Bernstein Ratner is a Fellow and Honors recipient of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, and a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. In 2006, she was presented with the Distinguished Researcher Award by the International Fluency Association. To be able to work with Oliver Bloodstein on the Handbook was an honor and a joy, since his work was the primary inspiration for her first research study and professional publication. She hopes someday to inspire others to the degree that he inspired her work in stuttering.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Shelley B. Brundage, PhD, CCC, BCS-F, is professor and chair in the Department of Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences at George Washington University in Washington, DC. Her research focuses on the use of virtual reality in stuttering assessment and treatment, as well as using technology to improve clinical learning. Dr. Brundage is a Fellow of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. In 2015, she was presented with the Knowledge Development and Innovation Award by the International Fluency Association and in 2017 was recognized with the Alumni of Notable Achievement Award by the University of Minnesota. She is gratified to be a part of the Handbook, particularly given that Nan Ratner was the person who first got her interested in stuttering.
