To what extent have misguided beliefs about professional solidarity or a code of silence impeded real advances in the treatment of stuttering and caused coverups of incompetence and flawed research methodologies? I refer to such go-along-to-get-along imperatives as: Thou shalt never criticize practices of the profession and by implication, other members of the profession. What penalties exist for violating that code? And what protection does ASHA provide for whistle-blowers?
