Thank you for this interesting and informative article. After reading the article I understand how perfectionism can debilitate a person who stutters (PWS) from improving his/her speech. On the other hand, I couldn’t help but think that perhaps for some stuttering individuals perfectionism is what motivates them to improve their speech fluency? Do you agree?
