Sheehan stated: "It is just as important to explain termination of the block as the block itself. Two questions then become essential in the explanation of the stutterer's behavior: (1) What makes him stop? (2) What enables him to continue?” **Famous STUTTER researcher:** “*Almost mysteriously the stutterer is stuck on a word, and then, for reasons just as baffling, he is able to continue. An explanation of stuttering must account for these twin features of the stutterer's behavior. Most theories of stuttering have focused on the hesitancy, on what produces the blocking. But from the standpoint of systematic theory as well as therapy, it is just as important to explain termination of the block as the block itself. Two questions then become essential in the explanation of the stutterer's behavior: (1) What makes him stop? (2) What enables him to continue?*” -- Sheehan, 1970 \~\~ **Question to everyone:** What make you stop stuttering, eventually? (after a long stutter block)
