OverviewThis book is a comprehensive guide to the evidence, theories, and practical issues associated with recovery from stuttering in early childhood and into adolescence. It examines evidence that stuttering is associated with a range of biological factors -- such as genetics -- and psychological factors -- such as anxiety -- and it critically assesses theoretical accounts that attempt to integrate these findings. Written so that it can be used flexibly to meet the demands of courses about stuttering, the book may be used as a text at the undergraduate or graduate level in psychology or speech-language science.

Kent, Professor Emeritus, University of Wisconsin-Madison Howell's book is ideally configured as a systematic introduction to the study of stuttering. It begins with fundamental issues in diagnosis and measurement and then advances through a series of chapters devoted to the cognitive, linguistic, neural, genetic, motor, personality, and environmental factors that contribute to varying patterns and severity of stuttering. Upon this basis, Howell then presents and evaluates alternative explanatory theories and suggests methods for diagnosis and treatment. This book presents everything the beginner needs to enter more deeply into the study of stuttering. - Brian MacWhinney, Professor of Psychology, Carnegie Mellon University Author InformationUniversity College London, UK Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
