Clinical Cases in Dysfluency is an imperative work that introduces
dysfluency in clinical and cultural contexts while encouraging
reflection on clinical decision-making involving the assessment and
management of clients. With inputs from eminent clinical researchers
across the world, this text brings together diverse voices and expertise
to provide readers with innovative ideas for their own practice.
The book assists in refining clinical problem solving and valuing
exchanges between clients and clinicians. Featuring real-life case
studies covering stuttering and cluttering in children and adults, it
showcases the importance of evidence-based practice and practitioner
reflection, demonstrating a range of approaches to address problems
experienced with dysfluency, and their management. The authors go on to
discuss issues of stereotyping, resilience, and therapeutic
commonalities in general, and in multicultural contexts, whilst also
introducing the discipline of Dysfluency Studies, where stuttering is
considered positively in its complexity and not as a disorder. These
concepts are effectively further illustrated through accompanying online
resources including videos, and weblinks.
This is an indispensable resource for students and clinicians in the
domains of Fluency, Speech and Language Pathology and Communication
Disorders, and will be valuable reading to anyone interested in
communication disorders, dysfluencies, and application of theory to
practice in these disciplines.
