Therapy for stuttering: experimenting with experimenting

Abstract An account is given of an approach to group therapy for stuttering using Kelly's personal construct theory as a basis for exploring the understanding of stuttering and the process of change. All five clients who participated showed considerable improvement in fluency on the Riley Stuttering Severity Instrument. Although the improvement may be due to concurrent individual fluency therapy, feedback on the group sessions suggested that group therapy had a positive effect on personal behaviour and facilitated transfer and maintenance of speech fluency.
