The Nature and Treatment of Stammering

First published in 1931, The Nature and Treatment of Stammering looks at the theories and causes of stammering as they were understood at the time. It looks at the various treatments available, exposing those 'quack' remedies that are unlikely to work and may make things worse. Then goes on to describe new treatments with proven successful outcomes. Today it can be read in its historical context.
This book is a re-issue originally published in 1931. The language used is a reflection of its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by this re-publication.
