I don't know about stuttering therapists, but there are clinicians and teachers working with severely disabled children who see their jobs as being taskmasters, with the goals boardering on abuse. In Boston Massachusetts, there have been everal lawsuits filed against professionals who have been accused of abusing autistic children. And, until recently, aversive approaches were a part of behavioral therapies.
