This was a very intriguing article to read. I had never thought about people who stutter could be by acceptable to becomeing a perfectionist. I have a friend who stutters and he is pretty fluent but when he catches himself stuttering he tends to stutter more and more. The effects of being a perfectionist seem to be quite stressful, in the CBS research project with the five individuals, did the study have any findings that if the individuals were to be able to relax there nervousness/stress level they would be more fluent? and the stuttering would disappear some?
