why is the stutterer almost always most fluent inside the therapy room one on one against the clinician. Note that the stutterer is usually male and the clinican is usually female. Any studies that can possibly explain this phenomenon? This phenomenon is problematic because the speech therapist is trying to help the client but can not observe any stuttering? Finally, do you recommend therapy outside the clinic in real world situations? Is there a manual that teaches female speech therapist to help the stutterer with real stuttering in the "real world"? The clinic room is not real, so what if the stuttere has perfect fluency in the clinic room. And the PWS is asked to make this transfer to the real world and if he doesn't succeed, then he is not motivated. Some SLPs tnink her job is finished once the client has 100% fluency in the clinic room, and it is the client job to make it work. The issue is: the client may already be 100% fluent in the clinical setting before any speech therapy....
