Autorentext
Joseph Kalinowski, Ph.D. Joseph S. Kalinowski, Ph.D. is an associate professor and researcher in the field of stuttering at East Carolina University. He received a master's degree from Northeastern University and his doctorate degree from the University of Connecticut, during which he conducted research at Haskins Laboratories. Dr. Kalinowski is widely published in the field of fluency disorders in both peer-reviewed journals and in the popular media where he has recounted his own problems with stuttering and available treatment options for stutterers. He has over 70 peer-reviewed journal publications in the field of stuttering and is a co-inventor of the SpeechEasy device, an effective tool for the inhibition and management of stuttering. Tim Saltuklaroglu, Ph.D. Tim Saltuklaroglu, Ph.D. is an assistant professor at the University of Tennessee. He received his master's degree in speech-language pathology from the University of Alberta and his doctoral degree from East Carolina University in 2004.

Klappentext
Totally unlike any other coverage of the subject, this book 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. Clinicians will find this book both revolutionary and an invaluable resource in therapy provision for stuttering.
