Stuttering: Foundations and Clinical Applications, Third Edition presents a comprehensive overview of the science and treatment of stuttering in a single text. The book offers a unique level of coverage of the stuttering population, the disorder's features, and the therapies offered for different ages. Written for both undergraduate and graduate level audiences, the authors guide students to critically appraise different viewpoints about the nature of stuttering, understand the disorder's complexities, and learn about the major clinical approaches and therapies appropriate for different age groups.
This evidence-based textbook is divided into three distinct sections. Part I, Nature of Stuttering, offers descriptive information about stuttering, including its demographics and developmental pathways. Part II explores the various explanations of stuttering, giving students an understanding of why people stutter. Part III focuses on clinical management, delving into the assessment of both adults and children, as well as various age-appropriate intervention approaches. In the final chapter, the authors explore other fluency disorders, as well as cultural and bilingual issues.

Ehud Yairi, PhD, CCC-SPL, F-ASHA, is an internationally renowned scholar and an expert on stuttering. A recipient of major grants from the National Institutes of Health, his research and clinical work on many aspects of the disorder throughout the age range, especially in children, had incorporated a wide range of its aspects, including environmental and genetic factors. Dr. Yairi was the first recipient of the Researcher Award of Distinction from the International Fluency Association, is a recipient of the Honors of the Association (the highest award of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association), the Malcolm Fraser Award for excellence in the field of stuttering from the Stuttering Foundation of America, and many others. He is the author (with Nicoline Ambrose) of Early Childhood Stuttering (2005), as well as of numerous scientific articles.****** Carol Hubbard Seery, PhD, CCC-SLP, is an Emeritus Professor of the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee where she served as Graduate Program Coordinator for about 15 years and then Department Chair for 8 years. Her research primarily focused on areas of psycholinguistic factors in stuttering and fluency, and differential diagnosis of subtypes of stuttering. She has had extensive experiences with the disorder of stuttering in various clinical settings, such as public schools and university clinics, has taught undergraduate and graduate courses on stuttering, was a branch Principal Investigator of an NIH grant, and has published her research in various scientific journals.
