Hello Lynne, Thank you for your question. Please say hello to Joe for me. I know that there have been several papers on shame and guilt by Bill Murphy and probably others on earlier ISAD conferences. These would be a big help to you I think. You are correct in thinking that the shame and guild, etc. etc. are often a much bigger problem that the overt features of stuttering. I think that addressing these feelings are something that can be done ALONG WITH working on the more obvious behavioral aspects of how one is stuttering. The SFA tape by Kristin Chmela (The school-age child who stutters: working effectively with attitudes and emotions (and the associated workbook will provide good concepts and ideas. Other very good sources are the following articles: Murphy, W.P. (1998) The school-age child who stutters: Dealing effectively with shame and guilt. Videotape No. 86. Memphis, TN: Stuttering Foundation of America. Murphy, B. (1999). A preliminary look at shame, guilt, and stuttering. In N. B. Ratner & E. C. Healey (Eds.), Stuttering research and practice: Bridging the gap (pp. 131–143). Mahwah, NJ: Lawrence Erlbaum. Murphy, W. P., Yaruss, J. S., & Quesal, R. W., (2007). Enhancing Treatment for school-age children who stutter I: Reducing negative reactions through desensitization and cognitive restructuring. Journal of Fluency Disorders, 32, 121-138. Murphy, W. P., Yaruss, J. S., & Quesal, R. W., (2007). Enhancing Treatment for school-age children who stutter II: Reducing bullying through role-playing and self-disclosure, Journal of Fluency Disorders, 32, 139-162.
