Stammering Therapy from the Inside: New Perspectives on Working with Young People and Adults

This book brings the richness of contemporary stammering therapy for young people and adults into the public domain. By including many innovative and previously undocumented approaches, it broadens the discourse and extends the boundaries of thinking about stammering theory. A key and unique aspect of the book is that the majority of chapters are co-authored by therapists and clients in order to deepen our knowledge of therapy in line with recent trends in narrative-based practice. Chapters include exploration of the following therapy approaches: cognitive therapy; the City Lit integrated approach to stammering therapy; block modification: integrating 1:1 and group work; interiorized stammering therapy; self-advocacy; working with teenagers in groups; narrative therapy; mindfulness meditation and stammering; acceptance and commitment therapy; neurolinguistic programming.
