Just as all people who stutter (some of the time) are not created equal, neither are the listeners. There are certain listeners for whom stuttering brings out the worst and there is scope for study of that other side of the equation. I think researching the pathology of listeners for whom stuttering evokes a range of aberrant behaviour would be a useful contribution to understanding what PWS (some of the time) are up against. What common elements of personality do these listeners share? What is their psychological makeup? Some quantitative and qualitative research would be nice. So why aren't there such studies? Is it because it's simply easier to blame the "stutterer"? — Ed Feuer edfeuer@mts.ndet
