4th Edition
by Patricia Zebrowski (Editor), Julie Anderson (Editor), Edward Conture (Editor)
A student-friendly resource on stuttering and related fluency disorders by a who's who of global experts
Stuttering
and Related Disorders of Fluency, Fourth Edition honors the philosophy
that discoveries of the past are the bedrock of the present and the
inspiration for future explorations—in this context—the nature and
treatment of stuttering. Initially developed over 30 years ago, the
first two editions were edited by the late Richard F. Curlee and the
third edition was co-edited by Richard F. Curlee and Edward G. Conture.
The latest edition, co-edited by Patricia M. Zebrowski, Julie D.
Anderson, and Edward G. Conture, brings together contemporary insights
and a multinational perspective from 44 world-class academicians,
clinicians, and researchers in the field of stuttering and related
disorders.
The book is organized into six sections
and 17 chapters, with the first section describing basic facts and
theories. The second section covers genetic, neural, linguistic,
cognitive, and physiological factors. The third section features three
dedicated chapters on the diagnosis of preschool-age children,
school-age children, and adolescents and adults. The fourth section
discusses treatment guidelines with three chapters organized by the same
age demographics, while the fifth section covers language and
phonological, bilingual and multicultural, and pharmacological
considerations for treatment. The sixth, and last, section provides
guidance on cluttering and acquired stuttering—from causes and symptoms
to diagnosis and treatment.
