Stuttering Treatment: Issues in Transfer and Maintenance

Abstract

fragmentation in the heads of therapists and clinicians. They are usually not recognized as realities by the stutterer until we teach him that these sequential stages exist and have some helpful func tions. We may be unnecessarily obstruct ing ourselves by spending our energies on wondering if we are talking about changing a response or transfering or maintaining it. This is not to say that we should abandon being descriptive and operational in characterizing our tactics.
