FREE ebook: Theories about the causes and recovery of stuttering If you are interested in **theories** (from 1943) on the causes and recovery of stuttering, give [this](https://drive.google.com/file/d/18JHKGf6eyeGxatk1g3toUA65Lw1ESkxP/view?usp=sharing) ebook (200 pages) a read. The viewpoints of 18 American and 7 European writers on the cause and recovery of stuttering are summarized in brief chapters. The interpretations of stuttering include psychoanalytic, conditioned response, mental imagery, semantic, hereditary predisposition, cerebral dominance, and others. Recommended therapies are divergent, some favoring and others warning against specific training in speech habits. The author concludes that no single theory appears to fit all cases and no single therapy to cure all stutterers.
