In keeping with the theme of this year's conference, "More Than a Tangled Tongue", does anyone disagree that stuttering discussions,diagnosis,therapy, research and public awareness could be greatly assisted by the use of clearer definitions to separate the Tangled Tongue (overt stuttering) from the More (social anxiety disorder and covert stuttering.)? What definitions would you regard as appropriate? Kind regards to all, Mark PS. No doubt you are all aware that stuttering is listed as a symptom of Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD), not all pws have SAD, and that all conscious human activity has affective, behavioural and cognitive components.
