Mr. Molt, thank you for your excellent article. As a clinicians I find a cluster of PWS who exhibit an "excesive" amount/severity of social phobia symptoms, and a cluster of social phobics with mild disfluencies or covert stuttering. I have two questions: 1. Don't you think that DSM-IV criteria for differential diagnosis for social phobia and stuttering is too restrictive? 2. In these cases of comorbid social phobia - stuttering do you find usefull to considere one of both disorders as the main diagnosis , in order the treatment election?
