Books & Articles
Ben Has Something To Say by Laurie Lears, illustrations by Karen Ritz. A book for children ages 5-9. Albert Whitman & Co., Morton Grove, IL. Fun With Fluency: Direct Therapy with the Young Child , by Patty Walton, MA-SLP, and Mary Wallace, MA-SLP. "For treating children ages 2.5 to 7 years old. Research and clinical practice increasingly favor direct stuttering therapy for children, after or instead of the old indirect methods. Indirect stuttering therapy included changing the parents' speaking rate or modifying the child's environment. " A Handbook On Stuttering , by Oliver Bloodstein, Ph.D. "Covers all research on stuttering. It is 90% "science," and 10% therapy. The book can be dense reading, and too often focuses on older research at the expense of current thinking. For example, there's a long section on metronomes, but nothing about the CAFET biofeedback system. But if you have a serious interest in stuttering, you need this book." I, Claudius, by Robert Graves. "A fictional autobiography of the Roman emperor Claudius, who lived from 10 B.C. to 54 A.D. Claudius survived the violent and treacherous reigns of his relatives Augustus, Tiberius, and Caligula because he stuttered and was thought to be feeble-minded. Claudius maintains a positive attitude in the face of ridicule and cruel insults, because of early advice from a wise mentor that his disabilities would cause others to not take him seriously, and he would outlive his tormentors." Jason's Secret by Ellen Marie Silverman, Ph.D. Published by 1st Books Library. Knotted Tongues , by Benson Bobrick. "The book has a thirty-page overview of stuttering science, and a twenty-page overview of stuttering therapies. Bobrick is a historian, and the bulk of the book (110 pages) is about historical and literary persons who stuttered. These include Moses, Charles I, Lewis Carroll, Henry James, W. Somerset Maugham, Winston Churchill, and Marilyn Monroe. Bobrick also covers the history of stuttering treatments. Written for non-professionals." The Mary Marony series of books , by Suzy Kline, "portrays a seven-year-old girl who stutters. She is supported by her parents, speech pathologist, and teacher." The author stuttered growing up. Multifactoral Stuttering Therapy, by Thomas David Kehoe. "Many factors contribute to make an individual stutter—genetics, neurology, environmental stress, emotional reactions. Successful treatment of stuttering requires addressing all of these problems."Available November 1, 2002 from Amazon.com. Self-Therapy For The Stutterer , by Malcolm Fraser. "Your local library probably has this book. The book is short and extremely easy to read. The book is a stuttering modification therapy program that you can do without a speech therapist." Special Children, Challenged Parents, by Robert A. Naseef, Ph.D., published by Carol Publishing Group, Secaucus, New Jersey, 1-800-447-2665. Stuttering: A Life Bound Up In Words , by Marty Jezer."Jezer is a talented and entertaining writer, and author of biographies of Abbie Hoffman, Rachel Carson, and other books. This is Jezer's autobiography, and stuttering affected everything in his life. You learn much about stuttering and especially stuttering therapies, because Jezer has gone through just about every therapy program (and still stutters)." Stuttering: The Search for a Cause and Cure , by Oliver Bloodstein, PhD. "This book covers the same material as his Handbook, but is written for non-professional readers. It is less than 200 pages long and easy to read. This book is about two-thirds therapy and one-third scientific research. It is structured as a history of stuttering therapies, but, because most stuttering therapies of the past are still practiced, the book is a good overview of the therapies now available." Stuttering And Related Disorders Of Fluency , edited by Richard F. Curlee, Ph.D. (1992, $45, New York: Thieme Medical Publishers)" A good collection of articles for speech pathologists. It is 100% about stuttering treatments — not etiology. Articles cover preschool, school-age, adult stuttering, cluttering, and neurogenic stuttering."
