Stammering, its cause and cure

The author recounts his long personal struggle with stammering, chronicling repeated failed treatments, study of speech principles, and eventual development of a practical therapeutic system. Parts combine memoir, analysis of causes and manifestations of stuttering across childhood and youth, discussion of psychological and physical effects, diagnostic guidance, and descriptions of treatment cases and the Unit Method he advocates. Practical chapters explain how to assess curability, techniques to free the tongue and restore natural speech, counsel for parents, and warnings about delay, while emphasizing permanence of cure and the social and emotional benefits of fluent speech.
