Written by a person who stutters who, although not a speech-language pathologist, has devoted much of his life to helping those who stutter(he is a co-founder of the National Stuttering Project and recently was named its Executive Director), the workbook has many uses. I recommend the "Self-Help Workbook for People Who Stutter" highly, not only for those who stutter, but those who provide therapy for those who stutter. The workbook's focus on the affective and cognitive components of stuttering syndromes, unfortunately, is missing in too many of today's fluency treatment programs. This self-help workbook can assist clinicians in addressing feelings and attitudes critical to the successful management of stuttering. We are indebted to Michael Sugarman for this clinically useful contribution.
