That’s a tough one to answer Rick, given that every client-clinician relationship is different. The client can’t show up expecting to be fixed without putting forth some effort. OTOH, I’m not a fan of programs that take credit for gains but tell clients it’s their fault if they don’t succeed. RE motivation, you’re right—sometimes it is not enough. There are individuals for whom managing or reducing disfluencies is not feasible. As you suggest, however, many of them can still find acceptance.
