Review of Stuttering

Abstract

Reviews the book, Stuttering, significant theories and therapies by Eugene F. Hahn (1943). Professor Hahn has presented a compendium of theories and therapies of 25 of the "authorities in the field." He does not state the basis for his selection of specialists, although the list appears to be representative of the major educational and medical clinics doing research and therapeutic work on stuttering in this country and abroad, and to suggest the great variety of ways in which the problem is studied and treated. Since the several reports average less than six pages each, they are necessarily sketchy and incomplete. The author's purpose of facilitating comparisons of the philosophies and therapeutic procedures involved is inherently limited by this restriction. The careful student will want to go to original sources. The beginner may be more confused than enlightened by the multiplicity of points of view presented (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
