Book excerpt: The McGuire Programme has been featured in many television documentaries including the 2019 BAFTA TV nominated ITV documentary "SCHOOL FOR STAMMERERS". In 1994, Dave McGuire founded The McGuire Programme, an international self-help membership organization using the same methods that helped him overcome a severe stutter. Called The McGuire Programme, this organization (owned and operated by those who stutter to help others who stutter), runs 3-4 day intensive courses and provides follow-up support throughout the world. This book (3RD EDITION, 2019) is the course manual for all members. Combining mental strategies with breathing techniques, this book explains The McGuire Programme, a proven technique for long-term improvement in speech and self-confidence for those who suffer from stuttering. Developed through the author's own struggles, readers learn to deal with their fear of stuttering by using a combination of physical techniques and mental strategies so that they can become better than normally fluent speakers. This 25th anniversary edition has been revised to incorporate the development of the methods of The McGuire Programme.

Download or read book Beyond Words written by Steven Connor and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2014-02-15 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Beyond Words, Steven Connor seeks to understand spoken human language outside words, a realm that encompasses the sounds we make that bring depth, meaning, and confusion to communication. Plunging into the connotations and uses associated with particular groups of vocal utterances—the guttural, the dental, the fricative, and the sibilant—he reveals the beliefs, the myths, and the responses that surround the growls, stutters, ums, ers, and ahs of everyday language. Beyond Words goes outside of linguistics and phonetics to focus on the popular conceptions of what language is, rather than what it actually is or how it works. From the moans and sobs of human grief to playful linguistic nonsense, Connor probes the fringes and limits of human language—and our definition of “voice” and meaning—to challenge our basic assumptions about what it is to communicate and where we find meaning in language. By engaging with vocal sounds and tics usually trivialized or ignored, Beyond Words presents a startling and fascinating new way to engage with language itself.

Book Synopsis Self-therapy for the Stutterer by : Malcolm Fraser
Download or read book Self-therapy for the Stutterer written by Malcolm Fraser and published by The Stuttering Foundation. This book was released on 2002 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Malcolm Fraser knew from personal experience what the person who stutters is up against. His introduction to stuttering corrective procedures first came at the age of fifteen under the direction of Frederick Martin, M.D., who at that time was Superintendent of Speech Correction for the New York City schools. A few years later, he worked with J. Stanley Smith, L.L.D., a stutterer and philanthropist, who, for altruistic reasons, founded the Kingsley Clubs in Philadelphia and New York that were named after the English author, Charles Kingsley, who also stuttered. The Kingsley Clubs were small groups of adult stutterers who met one night a week to try out treatment ideas then in effect. In fact, they were actually practicing group therapy as they talked about their experiences and exchanged ideas. This exchange gave each of the members a better understanding of the problem. The founder often led the discussions at both clubs. In 1928 Malcolm Fraser joined his older brother Carlyle who founded the NAPA-Genuine Parts Company that year in Atlanta, Georgia. He became an important leader in the company and was particularly outstanding in training others for leadership roles. In 1947, with a successful career under way, he founded the Stuttering Foundation of America. In subsequent years, he added generously to the endowment so that at the present time, endowment income covers over fifty percent of the operating budget. In 1984, Malcolm Fraser received the fourth annual National Council on Communicative Disorders' Distinguished Service Award. The NCCD, a council of 32 national organizations, recognized the Foundation's efforts in "adding to stutterers', parents', clinicians', and the public's awareness and ability to deal constructively with stuttering."

Book Synopsis Stuttering Meets Stereotype, Stigma, and Discrimination by : Kenneth O. St. Louis
Download or read book Stuttering Meets Stereotype, Stigma, and Discrimination written by Kenneth O. St. Louis and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than a century of research has sought to identify the causes of stuttering, describe its nature, and enhance its clinical treatment. By contrast, studies directly focused upon public and professional attitudes toward stuttering began in the 1970s. Recent work has taken this research to new levels, including the development of standard attitude measures; ad�dressing the widely reported phenomena of teasing, bullying, and discrimination against people who stutter; and attempting to change public opinion toward stuttering to more accepting and sensitive levels. Stuttering Meets Stereotype, Stigma, and Discrimination: An Overview of Attitude Research is the only reference work to date devoted entirely to the topic of stuttering attitudes. It features comprehensive review chapters by St. Louis, Boyle and Blood, Gabel, Langevin, and Abdalla; an annotated bibliography by Hughes; and experimental studies by other seasoned and new researchers. The book leads the reader through a maze of research efforts, emerging with a clear understanding of the important issues involved and ideas of where to go next. Importantly, the evidence base for stuttering attitude research extends beyond research in this fluency disorder to such areas as mental illness, obesity, and race. Thus, although of interest primarily to those who work, interact, or oth�erwise deal with stuttering, the book has potential for increasing under�standing, ameliorating negative attitudes, and informing research on any of a host of other stigmatized conditions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I don't have to stutter anymore."These words came to me after hearing a powerful statement at a conference. "The mind controls the body. What I think about I bring about." Even though I didn't really understand what those words meant, I believed them and knew they would bring change to my life. Little did I know to what extent. I had stuttered for almost 50 years before I heard the information that would change my life; the words kept ringing in my ears, and I believe my story can help you. I began a journey that was first focused on fluency, then changed to self-acceptance along the way. It is a journey that continues today, and I share with you some ideas that have opened my mind and heart along the way. I hope my experience will let you realize how truly awesome you are!Some topics I cover include: Fluency Self-acceptance Thoughts Fears Feelings Self-esteem Self-image A life-long journey of forgiveness Having an attitude of gratitude Seeing stuttering as a gift Loving your body and spirituality And...what it's really all about (hint: it's not about stuttering) My wish for you is that you wake every morning happy to be alive. May you realize how amazing you are just the way you are. We are so much more than people who stutter. Expect the best because you are the best, and are worthy of it. We are so persistent. We wake up every day of our lives, with courage to face another day, whether we stutter or not. For almost 55 years, I spent a lot of evenings sitting on the couch watching TV, scared to join Toastmasters or other groups, because I stuttered. And now I earn my living by speaking. I invite you to know that you can do whatever you want to do when you take the risks, when you love yourself, when you ask for what you want, and when you know that you are a powerful, loving, human being. It takes time and energy and perseverance to change our belief systems, and to realize the truth about who we are... and it is worth every single minute. May your life be the amazing life it can be. Now, it's time you hear these words: "You don't have to stutter anymore." If any of this speaks to you, its time for you to speak out! Buy, borrow, or download this book NOW

No Miracle Cures breaks down stuttering into many small problems'and shows you how to solve each one.
Download or read book Stutter written by Marc Shell and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-06-30 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a book that explores the phenomenon of stuttering from its practical and physical aspects to its historical profile to its existential implications, Shell, who has himself struggled with stuttering all his life, plumbs the depths of this murky region between will and flesh, intention and expression, idea and word. Looking into the difficulties encountered by people who stutter--as do fifty million world-wide--Shell shows that stutterers share a kinship with many other speakers, both impeded and fluent. This book takes us back to a time when stuttering was believed to be 'diagnosis-induced, ' then on to the complex mix of physical and psychological causes that were later discovered. Ranging from cartoon characters like Porky Pig to cultural icons like Marilyn Monroe, from Moses to Hamlet, Shell reveals how stuttering in literature plays a role in the formation of tone, narrative progression and character.--From publisher description.
