So many of us-SLPs- have been trained by professors who stutter themselves. Their views on treatments are often colored by their own experiences. This didn't work for them it's no good. This seemed to help some. This worked the best for them so it's "the answer". We all can't help thinking if "the answer" didn't work totally after so much personal and professional investment in finding a "fix" (and usually it hasn't ), how can we possibly "fix" our clients' speech. That's the essence of the "fear".
