Despite decades of research into the nature and treatment of stuttering, the causes and underlying mechanisms of it are still not well understood. In this unique and comprehensive overview of the numerous theories and models which seek to understand and explain stuttering, the authors of Theoretical Issues in Stuttering provide an invaluable account.

Covering an impressive range of topics including past and current theories of stuttering, this edition provides the reader with an updated evaluation of the literature on the subject of stuttering alongside exploring the evolution of new theories. Placing each within the relevant historical context, the authors explore the contribution of theory to both understanding and managing stuttering.

Theoretical Issues in Stuttering is a critical account of the models and theories which surround the subject of stuttering, aiming to act as a key resource for students of speech-language pathology as well as lecturers, clinicians and researchers within the field.

Ann Packman has worked for over 35 years in the field of stuttering, as clinician, teacher, and researcher. She has published over 150 articles in peer-reviewed journals and has served two terms as Associate Editor for Fluency for journals of the American Speech and Hearing Association. Professor Joseph S. Attanasio has published and presented on the topic of stuttering in national and international research journals and venues during his 45 years as a member of the Department of Communication Science & Disorders, Montclair State University.
