I am a graduate student in a Communication Disorders program and I am looking forward to working as a speech-language therapist upon graduation. I enjoyed your analytical paper and it made me think about all the psychology courses I have taken in the past. You successfully highlighted the complexity of motivation. Do you think it’s possible that some fluency clients on the surface might appear or give the impression that they are not very motivated in therapy, but in reality it might be a defense? They secretly want to do make improvements but are afraid of failing. By giving others the impression that they are not taking it seriously, they are actually just taking away some of the anxiety that they personally feel in order to better succeed in addition to alleviating the anxiety that they feel from the expectations of others. Again, I really enjoyed your analysis.
