More About the Author
Product Description
Review
"Dr. Bloodstein continues to produce a manual that is at once thorough and enjoyable to read for both the fledgling clinician and the seasoned pro.... It is good to see Dr. Bloodstein's book being released in a fifth edition."
Product Description
This fifth edition of this volume updates the reader on the breadth of research that has been conducted on stuttering. In addition to research on the aetiology, incidence, characteristics, and treatment of stuttering, the author includes information on neuromotor control research, comparison of developmental stuttering to neurogenic stuttering, and advocacy/self-help groups. In this revised and updated handbook, the author has interwoven the results of some 400 studies at appropriate points in the text and included 2000 references.

Authoritative but dry as a bone, 1 Feb 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Handbook on Stuttering (Paperback)
This is probably the most important book on stuttering in print today. It is also one of the driest volumes in speech-language pathology I have ever read. Will tell you more about stuttering than you may want to know. Significantly, the material on treatment covers only 50 pages out of 600, so this is not the book you want to spend your money on if you are a speech therapist looking for treatment material. This is more of an overview of every scrap of research done on the subject since day one. Touches on every study ever done on the subject. Difficult reading because of its very dry, academic nature. Reads like one long journal article. ZZzzzzzz

The Bible for Stuttering Information, 3 May 2009
By Robert W. Quesal "Bob Q." - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Handbook on Stuttering (Paperback)
This should be titled "Everything you wanted to know about stuttering but were afraid to ask." I own every edition of this book, going back to when it was a little pamphlet published by Chicago Easter Seals. Each edition has gotten better and this most recent one, obviously, is the best. There is no more comprehensive review of stuttering research available anywhere. A must-have for anyone who is seriously interested in the disorder of stuttering.

THE authoritative resource for information about stuttering, 30 April 2009
By J. Scott Yaruss - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Handbook on Stuttering (Paperback)
Everything you want to know about the history of research, theory, and treatment of stuttering is contained in this book. I have used it (and its predecessors) as textbooks in my course, as a reference in my own research, and as a resource just about any time somebody asks me "has anybody ever studied...?" If it's been written about, it's in the Handbook. This is truly an indispensable text and it should be on the shelf of every speech-language pathologist who evaluates or treats individuals who stutter.
