I find your article very interseting. I am currently in my first year of my masters dagree in Speech Language Pathology. We have learned that the process your article explains is called desensitization. A process that seems to be very effective in reducing some stress (of course you cant reduce it all) and creat a more positive self image. I was wondering, if I was to take a new client out to the mall and stuttered any way he or she wanted me to, in front of anyone he or she wanted me to, and let the client see what he feared happen 'live' in front of him, what effects positve or negative that might have on the clients willingness to participate in therapy?
