Sarah... Group therapy often starts out with people who stutter; covertly and openly. An initial goal is to give the client the opportunity to listen to the experiences of others who stutter and then share their own stuttering experiences. Its not uncommon for a spouse or other family member to attend group sessions as this can give the PWSC the opportunity to help their family member understand what the go through. To them, a group of people speaking about stuttering might carry more weight then them trying to explain to to a spouse or friend individually... the thought being "See, its not just me that feels this way and is going through this!"
