Hi there. Part of the answer to your question is easy. There are not too many transactional analysts who are trained in stuttering treatment, and there are very few speech-language pathologists and fluency specialists who are trained in TA. Depending on where you live, it may be possible to find some therapists who are willing to work cooperatively with you. If you can identify some issues that you think may be interfering with your stuttering treatment, a TA therapist may be able to help out and your work with the fluency specialist may be more effective. TA is often used by persons who are certified or licensed by other professions, such as psychology, social work, counseling, and speech pathology. The International Transactional Analysis Association (ITAA) does provide, however, an independent clinical certification program. That organization can verify the certification status of various professionals. -WSR
