Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to provide clinicians with a framework for working with their teen and adult clients in designing and implementing stuttering therapy. Our guiding principles for working with people who stutter have been inspired by the work of researchers and practitioners in communication sciences and disorders, counseling psychology, and health psychology. We propose that stuttering therapy and its outcomes require us to consider (1) how important speech and stuttering modifications, thoughts and feelings about stuttering, and avoidance strategies are to the client and (2) how ready clients are to change any or all of these components of the stuttering experience. With this in mind, we offer strategies for helping your clients make decisions about what they want and can do about stuttering, ways you can assist them in achieving these goals, and case examples of the therapy process.
