This 4th edition of Stuttering: An Integrated Approach to Its Nature and Treatment contains some major renovations. As before, I've included new research that has been published since the previous edition. Most of the new studies have been in the areas of constitutional Fac-tors and developmental, environmental, and learning factors. To make this dense material more digestible, I've divided each of these areas into a chapter that gives the fine details.
The chapters on assessment and treatment have been updated as new material has become available and as I've gained a better understanding of how to assess and treat clients. I think the chapters on treating school-age children and on treating adolescents and adults are most different form those in the previous edition. My clinical experiences in these intervening seven years have given me a better sense of how to sequence treatment and what are crucial experiences for clients.
