A Behavioral Approach to the Treatment of Stuttering
Abstract
A behavioral analysis of the disorder of stuttering is presented. The author outlines a program of treatment for severe adult stutterers which is based partly on this behavioral analysis and partly on empirical observations about means of influencing the frequency and severity of stuttering. The treatment involves the use of a miniaturized electronic metronome which is worn behind the ear like the hearing aid it resembles.
