Dear Stuttering researchers, Sigmund Freud was obviously wrong about stuttering. My questions is: Wendell Johnson and Joe Sheehan were two famous stuttering researchers, but were they actually wrong about stuttering? For example, Johnson believed that the cause of stuttering was all enviromental (e.g. the Monster study). Presented with all the brain imaging evidence and genetic data today, how would Sheehan explain his "approach-avoidance" theory developed in the 1950's? Are we supposed to read books and research papers published more than twenty (or even ten) years ago, because it might be misleading or unuseful. Thank you very much for your response/opinion. Rick
