Malcolm Fraser knew from personal experience what the person who stutters is up against. His introduction to stuttering corrective procedures first came at the age of fifteen under the direction of Frederick Martin, M.D., who at that time was Superintendent of Speech Correction for the New York City schools. A few years later, he worked with J. Stanley Smith, L.L.D., a stutterer and philanthropist, who, for altruistic reasons, founded the Kingsley Clubs in Philadelphia and New York that were named after the English author, Charles Kingsley, who also stuttered. The Kingsley Clubs were small groups of adult stutterers who met one night a week to try out treatment ideas then in effect. In fact, they were actually practicing group therapy as they talked about their experiences and exchanged ideas. This exchange gave each of the members a better understanding of the problem. The founder often led the discussions at both clubs. In 1928 Malcolm Fraser joined his older brother Carlyle who founded the NAPA-Genuine Parts Company that year in Atlanta, Georgia. He became an important leader in the company and was particularly outstanding in training others for leadership roles. In 1947, with a successful career under way, he founded the Stuttering Foundation of America. In subsequent years, he added generously to the endowment so that at the present time, endowment income covers over fifty percent of the operating budget. In 1984, Malcolm Fraser received the fourth annual National Council on Communicative Disorders' Distinguished Service Award. The NCCD, a council of 32 national organizations, recognized the Foundation's efforts in "adding to stutterers', parents', clinicians', and the public's awareness and ability to deal constructively with stuttering."

Living with Stuttering is for anyone with a personal, clinical, or academic interest in speech disorders-and anyone with a general interest in the human experience. Ken St. Louis neatly and thoroughly explains the current state of thinking and practice, and some of the history that has brought the profession to this point. Beyond this, the book presents the personal testimonies of twenty-nine people whose lives have been to some degree shaped by stuttering-stories of humor and heartbreak, acceptance and rejection, and the ability of an individual to define and achieve his or her own standard of success. These experiences powerfully illustrate that we humans are all very different from each other, and also very much the same. "Stuttering cannot be completely understood unless personal experiences are taken into account. In this second edition of his invaluable book, Ken St. Louis presents several of these stories from a diverse group of people ... The book also provides a summary of important information about stuttering, and useful resources for people who stutter and their families." -Michael P. Boyle, PhD, CCC-SLP; Associate Professor, Communication Sciences and Disorders, Montclair State University "Even though [the first edition] is on my shelf, it's rarely 'on my shelf.' ... This new version picks up with an updated Stuttering 101 chapter, summarizes the public opinions of stuttering, and presents candid stories from people who stutter to make the experience of stuttering real. Thanks to you, Ken...and to all of your story tellers!" -John A. Tetnowski, PhD, CCC-SLP, BCS-F, ASHA-F; Professor & Jeanette Sias Endowed Chair; Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders; Oklahoma State University "Ken St. Louis ... has purposefully included stories of individuals from beyond the US-in their own words-which demonstrate that we can not only live but can thrive, regardless of whether or not we happen to stutter. It is a book of inspiration, information, and hope." -Lee Reeves, DVM, Past Chairman, National Stuttering Association

In a book that explores the phenomenon of stuttering from its practical and physical aspects to its historical profile to its existential implications, Shell, who has himself struggled with stuttering all his life, plumbs the depths of this murky region between will and flesh, intention and expression, idea and word. Looking into the difficulties encountered by people who stutter--as do fifty million world-wide--Shell shows that stutterers share a kinship with many other speakers, both impeded and fluent. This book takes us back to a time when stuttering was believed to be 'diagnosis-induced, ' then on to the complex mix of physical and psychological causes that were later discovered. Ranging from cartoon characters like Porky Pig to cultural icons like Marilyn Monroe, from Moses to Hamlet, Shell reveals how stuttering in literature plays a role in the formation of tone, narrative progression and character.--From publisher description.

Stuttering is an affliction that affects every ethnicity and every culture equally, some sixty million people worldwide. Five percent of children stutter. Typically this debilitating condition emerges when a child is between the ages of two and six. Twenty percent of these children will continue to stutter as adults. Although it is so pervasive, there is great misunderstanding about stuttering. Socially isolating those it strikes, the disorder prevents them from the kind of candid discussions that would help them gain an understanding of it. In turn, social isolation creates misconceptions. In Understanding Stuttering a writer who is both a practicing physician and former researcher on stuttering examines the medical roots of the problem and, hoping to bring alleviation, shares his findings. He defines stuttering as a medical condition that is neurologically based or inherited. In clear language he explains the basics of brain anatomy and function, tells of the latest scientific advances in diagnosis and treatment of stuttering, and explains the difference in acquired stuttering and Tourette syndrome. Using examples from his practice, he details effective treatments, including speech therapy and medications. He discusses the most promising new research and tells how the findings of this research will improve treatments and provide a possible cure. Understanding Stuttering concludes with practical tips on how to converse with those who stutter and lists organizations that provide additional information and support. Nathan Lavid, a former faculty member at the University of Southern California School of Medicine, is in private psychiatric practice in southern California.

This textbook presents a new paradigm for understanding the nature and treatment of stuttering based on recent discoveries in neuroscience. The authors illustrate how visible stuttering manifestations are actually a solution to a central problem, acting as a compensatory mechanism for a central involuntary block, rather than a problem in themselves. This book features methods that reduce stuttering by inhibiting this central block, through the use of sensory and motor tools, notably mirror neurons, and shows readers that stuttering is not a condition that can be effortlessly "trained out" of the system or eliminated via simple speech retraining.
