Stuttering

  • Chapter
International Handbook of Behavior Modification and Therapy

Abstract

Stuttering is probably the best known and most re-searched speech disorder; but it also ranks among the most difficult to define, plausibly explain, or, especially in adults, treat effectively. In the recent edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-III-R) (American Psychiatric Association, 1987), the “essential features” of the disorder are described as “frequent repetitions or prolongations of sound or syllables. Various other types of speech dysfluencies may also be involved, including blocking of sounds or interjection of words or sounds” (American Psychiatric Association, 1987, p. 86). However, this description neither defines the frequency of these behaviors nor distinguishes then from normal disfluencies. Nevertheless, few observers have difficulty in recognizing the features of chronic stuttering. The behaviors that listeners judge as stutterings appear to vary in their frequency across speaking situations and are dramatically reduced during certain speaking conditions or with the use of certain speech patterns. Chronic stuttering usually begins in early childhood, although adult onset of the disorder occasionally occurs, usually in conjunction with brain damage. Stuttering appears to occur in all nationalities with an incidence of approximately 1% and a prevalence of 4% to 5%.
