Stutterology: Knowledge > Empathy
http://stutterology.blogspot.com/2012/01/knowledge-empathy.html
Putting the Stink Eye on the Stuttering Industrial Complex. Monday, January 2, 2012. Now speech therapy is a helping profession, and in such fields it is always good for the clinician to be a people person. If one is going to help people deal with their problems, a misanthropic or uncaring personality is going to struggle to enjoy the work. I am, however, wary of a special emphasis being put on empathy.

Putting the Stink Eye on the Stuttering Industrial Complex. Friday, April 18, 2014. I'm happy to pass on news of the publication of a book by Drs. Ehud Yairi and Carol Seery. I haven't seen it yet, but based on Dr. Yairi's journal publications, I trust that it can only be a much-needed improvement over past efforts in this field.

Stutterology: April 2010
http://stutterology.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Putting the Stink Eye on the Stuttering Industrial Complex. Sunday, April 11, 2010. Stuttering Treatments of the Past. In a 1992 article in the Journal of Fluency Disorders, Charles Van Riper told of how he and fellow graduate student Wendell Johnson served as experimental white rats at the University of Iowa during the early 1930s. Now there's some interesting research. Not the needles in the tongue part - the other stuff. Links to this post. Saturday, April 3, 2010. The Bates Appliances - 1851.

Stutterology: February 2012
http://stutterology.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Putting the Stink Eye on the Stuttering Industrial Complex. Monday, February 13, 2012. Whatever the neurological origin of the stutter block, or the psycho-social trigger that cues it to occur, we know two things: that the failure is a failure of coarticulation, and that the failure doesn't occur when the rate of speech is slowed down sufficiently. So what can we do with these two facts? Coarticulation allows us to speak significantly faster than independent, sequential production of individual sounds wo...

Stutterology: February 2010
http://stutterology.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Putting the Stink Eye on the Stuttering Industrial Complex. Saturday, February 27, 2010. Marilyn. Meet Winston. If you are a stutterer, you've seen the lists. Famous stutterers. Actors, singers, politicians and athletes. Here we have two who make every list, Marilyn Monroe and Winston Churchill. I'll leave aside the degree to which the two actually stuttered, and what this should mean to stutterers, and make another point. Has anyone under the age of 40 actually sat through a Marilyn Monroe movie? Which ...

Stutterology: Why 'Neurogenic' Matters
http://stutterology.blogspot.com/2012/02/why-neurogenic-matters.html
Putting the Stink Eye on the Stuttering Industrial Complex. Friday, February 3, 2012. Commenter Ora was kind enough to make a thoughtful response to my last post on why ' neurogenic. And 'developmental' stuttering are not are not good complementary names for the two related conditions. This raises a classic blogging issue - with no editor to pre. Read and review copy, a writer can never be sure that the intended message. My previous post on the use of the term ' neurogenic. In origin, there is sufficient...

Stutterology: A Proper Name: (Part II)
http://stutterology.blogspot.com/2012/01/proper-name-part-ii.html
Putting the Stink Eye on the Stuttering Industrial Complex. Monday, January 16, 2012. A Proper Name: (Part II). So now that we've nailed down what the condition known as stutter 'is' (to may satisfaction, at least), isn't it reasonable to ask that the condition have a technical name that reflects its nature? The profession saw cause to go all technical when it came up with persistent developmental stuttering (how's that for a mouthful? I think we can. And what is the benefit of making such a change?

Stutterology: December 2011
http://stutterology.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Putting the Stink Eye on the Stuttering Industrial Complex. Wednesday, December 28, 2011. The Genetics of Stutter - A Review. I suspect you'd need at least a college biology course to follow the different discussions, but the paper is not written for geneticists, so it is not burdened with too much jargon, and it's not a research paper, so it's not filled with graphs and charts. Give it a try. The link to the full, free version is at the top right of the page. Links to this post. Monday, December 19, 2011.

Stutterology: November 2011
http://stutterology.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Putting the Stink Eye on the Stuttering Industrial Complex. Monday, November 28, 2011. I'd like to take aim at the 'person who stutters' business in this entry. For those who don't know, an assertion has been made that 'person who stutters' is preferable usage to 'stutterer.' As a person who demands accurate language (or is simply a language fuss-budget) this dispute is right up my alley. Which leads me to ask, how did people-first language gain ascendancy in the world of stuttering? A little thought on ...
