Hello Walt,I'm an undergraduate student at the College of St. Rose. Joe Klein's lecture today briefly touched on the subjects of shame and guilt that often plague PWS. It brought me back to the on-line conference to see if I could find more information on the impact that these feelings have for PWS. My first thought is to try and learn how to get rid of the stutter and make it go away while not realizing that there is so much more to it. It seems like these feelings are as much the problem or more of the problem than the actual stuttering. Would it make sense as a clinician to address these feelings first before initiating a therapy program especially with adolescents?
