Hello! Isn't psychogenic stuttering: disfluencies after a psychological trauma that is totally different from what we call stuttering. Psychogenic stuttering implies that the cause is psychological and it can be treated with psycho-therapy. If someone has psychogenic stuttering, should he/she (no matter what age) be getting therapy from a psychologist or a SLP? Both is not an option (too expensive). A separate question. Someone once said that psychologist have the tools to treat stuttering but don't have the knowledge, and SLPs have the knowledge but don't have the tools. Is this correct or incorrect? Thanks!
