Teresa, Thank you for your thoughtful question. I've heard from other pws who have gone through speech therapy or three week programs experienced relapse. Many return to their stuttering patterns. I hope that the article would address the importance by slp's to discuss relapse during therapy. So when relapse occurs it doesn't "I am a failure." or "All the work I did goes for nothing." Its important to keep inmind after X months of therapy if the PWS focuses only on stuttering and not the process of personal growth then relapse takes on a different meaning. good luck in your clinician and client relationships. kindly, Michael
