Your outlook on treatment for stuttering seems to place a lot of emphasis on the client’s thoughts and feelings about stuttering and him/herself as a communicator. I share this view but wonder if many graduate programs in this field adequately prepare students to deal with such personal issues with people who stutter, as well as all of our clients. What are your thoughts on this and would you recommend some instruction in counseling techniques as a part of the professional training for speech-language pathologists?
