Stuttering: Foundations and Clinical Applications, Fourth Edition presents a comprehensive overview of the science and treatment of stuttering intended for both undergraduate and graduate level courses. It is the only text that incorporates general information on the nature of stuttering (e.g., incidence and development), a review of its theoretical and research perspectives, and a substantial clinical “how-to” guide for evaluating and managing the disorder at different ages. It guides students to critically appraise different viewpoints about the nature of stuttering, understand the disorder’s complexities, and learn about the major clinical approaches and therapies appropriate for different age groups.

This evidence-based textbook is divided into three distinct sections. Part I, Nature of Stuttering, offers descriptive information about stuttering, including its demographics and developmental pathways. Part II explores the various explanations of stuttering, giving students an understanding of why people stutter. Part III focuses on clinical management, delving into the assessment of both adults and children, as well as various age-appropriate intervention approaches. In the final chapter, the authors explore other fluency disorders, as well as cultural and bilingual issues.
