Jim, you are the ideal person to have carried out this survey. You and your colleagues have summarized a lot of basic information about stutterers' experiences, attitudes and feelings that help to round out our knowledge of stuttering and stutterers. If I were still teaching, I would make this survey required reading by my students to give them a more realistic view of the stuttering problem and how to deal with it. Incidentally, years ago Herb Goldberg and I did a survey of stutterers who used the Edinburgh Masker, and our findings were conconant with the NSA survey. Nothing fights wishful thinking and bloated claims of therapy success than a good dose of factual information!
