143. Stuttering Modification Using Hypnosis: A Case Study By Dr David Oakley And Guy The study reported here examines hypnosis as an anxietyreducing and confidence-buildingtechnique for stuttering modification. http://www.hypnos.co.uk/hypnomag/stutter.htm

Magazine For Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy Stuttering Modification Using Hypnosis: A Case Study by Dr David Oakley and Guy Moss The study reported here examines hypnosis as an anxiety-reducing and confidence- building technique for stuttering modification. The fluency of a 29-year-old man with a moderate to severe overt stutter was recorded in controlled conditions over a baseline period, twelve hypnosis sessions and three follow-up sessions, using standardised reading material. In hypnosis the subject was taught anxiety management and self-hypnosis techniques and used self-guided hypnotic imagery to rehearse coping well in stressful situations. Fluency improved immediately during hypnosis and a steady decrease in stuttering incidents was seen over sessions on the standardised materials when tested without hypnosis. The subject was able to transfer these marked improvements in speech production from the laboratory to everyday situations. He also reported a considerable improvement in his general mental well-being. These results support the view that hypnosis can be of assistance in the modification of stuttering and should encourage its wider use by speech therapists alongside conventional stuttering therapies.

What to do when your child is already of school-going age Introduction He remembers being teased. He remembers being asked his name and standing there, eyes closed, not breathing, trying to get the simple sounds out of his mouth. "T T T T Tom," he eventually would blurt out. Sometimes, by the time Tom Williams formed the sound of his own name, the person addressing him had walked away out of embarrassment, frustration or impatience. Tom is one of the estimated three million stutterers in the United States. Stuttering is a problem as old as the human race itself. It is often accepted that Moses was a stutterer, although this is not stated explicitly in the Bible. The earliest stutterer that we know of was Demosthenes, the famous orator of Ancient Greece.

In the first of these it is held that stuttering is a symptom of a neurosis. It is believed that stuttering is a symptom of an emotionally disturbed personality. Such erroneous beliefs could easily result from the fact that the stutterer's inability to move fluently through words and phrases often causes him to experience deeply a wide range of intense emotional reactions. Most stutterers apparently feel that it is a disgrace to be a stutterer, and for that reason they become very sensitive about their difficulty. The experience of being blocked or not able to say what you want to say without being constantly interrupted by an annoying stutter can be very frustrating. A person who stands in front of another person, unable to say something he wishes to say to this person, would have to be psychologically very strong not to experience feelings of unworthiness and inadequacy, shame, frustration, depression and even fear and anxiety. The stutterer's emotions may generate so much fear and anxiety that they can affect his attitude towards others and life in general. Like the tail that wags the dog, stuttering can alter one's personality.

Dansk Videnscenter for Stammen About DAVS Om DAVS Nyhedsbrev Aktiviteter Materialer ... Oversigt The Stuttering Information Center of Denmark The aim of the centre The background of the centre The organisation of the centre What the centre offers ... Contact information The aim of the centre The Aim of the centre is to improve the prevention and treatment of stuttering in Denmark, and to improve conditions in general for people in Denmark who stutter. To fulfil the aim, the centre means to ensure, that speech therapists, psychologists, stutterers and parents of stuttering children, public social workers, pre-school teachers, school teachers, employers, and others in Denmark will receive up-to-date knowledge about stuttering and the treatment of stuttering. The way to attain this goal is to systematically collect, adapt, develop and pass on knowledge about the causes, development, consequences, prevention and the treatment of stuttering. The background of the centre The reason for establishing the centre was that the treatment of stuttering in Denmark has been decentralised to speech therapists in the municipalities (for children) and the counties (for adults). The speech therapists' tasks are to treat all kinds of speech and language problems, not only stuttering. Some of the speech therapists only see a single, or a very few, stutterers per year - if any. This often results in a lack of knowledge about stuttering, and speech therapists feeling incapable of properly treating persons who stutter.

Stuttering - Some Facts and Answers by Marek Roland-Mieszkowski, Ph.D., Digital Recordings This paper was published in the February/March 1994 edition of the Ability Network magazine and has been recommended by Digital Recordings as suggested reading for their DSA (Digital Speech Aid) product. Content What is Stuttering? Origins of Stuttering Coping with Stuttering and Available Therapies Other Techniques and Devices ... Final Remarks What is Stuttering? Stuttering is a speech disorder which manifests itself in the form of involuntary repetitions, prolongations and blocks during speech. These are often accompanied by facial spasms and body movements in more severe cases. Stuttering often leads to embarrassment, apprehension and fear of loss of speech control. Stuttering occurs to various degrees in about 1% of adults and about 4% of children (under the age of 12), which means that, eventually, some of the children overcame the disorder. It occurs about four times more often in males than in females. The majority of stutterers can sing and whisper without problems. Back to the Content Origins of Stuttering In many cases, stuttering was believed to be caused by psychological disorders and nervousness. This stigma still exists among a large part of the medical and health community as well as the general population.

154. Answers To Brain Function Neurology of stuttering. http://www.uthscsa.edu/mission/spring95/brainexm.html

Spring 1995 Answers to brain function Stuttering, which affects 1 million Americans, may be treated medically someday because its cause is being isolated. People stutter because of an abnormality in the speech motor circuits of the cerebrum and cerebellum. This discovery by Dr. Fox and co- investigators Roger J. Ingham, PhD, and Janis Costello Ingham, PhD, of the University of California at Santa Barbara , helps explain why stutterers speak smoothly when they read in unison with another person. The biological origin of depression, which affects an additional 15 million Americans, is being pinpointed in experiments by Helen S. Mayberg, MD, an associate professor of neurology and psychiatry. She also has begun unique research to unlock the mystery of human mood changes. Depression, Dr. Mayberg has found, is characterized by abnormal brain blood flow in the paralimbic frontal lobe. Her "mood challenge" experiments, which provoke emotional states in test subjects, show a relationship between clinical depression and the emotion of sadness. Dr. Mayberg's work gives one of the first profiles of how people process their emotions. Her findings also suggest new strategies for treating depressed patients. Brain surgery's risks may be reduced because of a test for patients that Dr. Fox helped develop and improve. Using high-tech imaging, physicians can more sharply define language centers of a patient's brain before surgery by giving what is called a "generate verbs" test. The patient responds to a noun such as "hammer" by saying an appropriate verb such as "pound." Clinical trials of the test are being conducted by researchers from Yale, Harvard and other universities. For both patient and neurosurgeon, the test offers a major advantage: It reduces the risk of accidentally harming parts of the brain that process speech.
