I appreciate you taking the time to respond, however, you misinterpreted my question. I did not mean to start a commotion when you may have inferred that I was asking which therapy is "better" (I have learned the cons of "selective" therapy the hard way). Of course, every stutterer is different. But, in the moment of stuttering many behaviors are the same, and the reaction (block, prolongation, repition) of this moment appears vastly different. With over fifteen years of attending therapy and support groups, I find these two therapie to be the most complete, concrete therapies for the "masses" as you say (not to be confused with the "best"). My original question, clarified, was: Over your long-term careers, which individual methods WITHIN fluency shaping (i.e. voice monitoring, tape record, breathing) and modification therapies (i.e. pullouts, cancellations, voluntary stutters) do you find most helpful with the least potential for harm?
