	Stuttering - Psychology Wiki - a Wikia wiki
		Stuttering (known as stammering in parts of the UK and scientifically known as dysphemia) is a speech disorder in which the normal flow of speech is frequently disrupted by repetitions (sounds, syllables, words or phrases), pauses and prolongations that differ both in frequency and severity from those of normally fluent individuals.
		Stuttering is a communicative disorder that affects speech; it is not a language disorder—although a person's use of language is often affected or limited by a stutter.
		Each stutterer has different sounds that he or she personally finds difficult to speak, usually plosive consonants or close vowels, and by using filled pauses the stutterer can ease into continuous speech that otherwise would be more difficult to begin.

	Stuttering: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com
		Stuttering (also known as stammering in the UK) is a speech disorder in which pronunciation of the (usually) first letter or syllable of a word is repeated involuntarily.
		Stuttering sometimes develops into blocking, that is, even the first letter or syllable becomes impossible to pronounce, i.e.
		Recent research indicate that stuttering is caused by disrupted fibres between the speech area and language planning area, both in the left hemisphere.

		Stuttering (scientifically known as dysphemia and as stammering in the UK) is a speech disorder in which the normal flow of speech is frequently disrupted by repetitions (sounds, syllables, words, or phrases), pauses, and prolongations that differ both in frequency and severity from those of normally fluent individuals.
		Stuttering is a communicative disorder that affects speech; it is not a language disorder -- although a persons use of language is often affected or limited by a stutter.
		Severe stutters often, but not always, are accompanied by strong feelings and emotions in reaction to the problem such as anxiety, shame, fear, self-hatred, etc. This is usually less present in mild stutterers and serves as another criteria in which to define stutters as mild or severe.

	Stuttering as a Variant of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
		Dissociation in stutterers may also be simply a physiological by-product of any strong feeling, and some of the symptoms, such as a distorted sense of time, tunnel vision, and a buzzing or rushing sound, suggest the possibility that the vascular changes that accompany strong emotions may create the phenomenon.
		In stuttering therapy too, at least as we see it, the overall aim is to move stutterers from being haunted by their stuttering past and their accumulated interpretations of what that past may mean, to a place where they no longer interpret emotionally arousing stimuli as a necessary precursor to stuttering.
		The stutterer, meeting alone with the therapist, is encouraged to let the stuttering show, to examine it closely, to talk about it with the therapist (and even "talk to it" as our new book describes), and to feel the emotions and sensations that are a part of the experience.

		In the course of doing this, I'll explore some of the reasons why stuttering seems so mysterious, and try to show how a lot of this mystery can begin to be resolved by acknowledging the experience of people who stutter: specifically, their feeling that stuttering involves an intermittent, uncontrollable, inhibition or disruption of speech.
		For the person who stutters (PWS), the "veils of stuttering" tend to perpetuate the disorder by reinforcing the illusion that the self and stuttering are the same thing.
		ronically, the overt behaviors of developmental stuttering are largely the result of attempts to preserve the identity and the self in the first place.

		While the cause of stuttering is ambiguous, Keller said, brain mapping techniques and genetics would play a role in learning more about stuttering in the future.
		One theory is that in stutterers, language function may be occurring in the right side of the brain rather than the left side.
		For people who stutter, Keller continued, using the right side of the brain may cause 'glitches' in the form of stutters because it is not well adapted to language.

		If there is a genetic basis to stuttering as Ambrose, Cox and Yairi (1997) claim, then the results may be due to the homogenous nature of the population.
		What is becoming clear is that there is a genetic basis for stuttering (stuttering 'runs in families') and that there are some differences in the brains of PWS.
		In summary, it seems that there is a genetic basis to stuttering, but it is not inherited in a straightforward fashion and that stuttering may result from structural changes in the brain.

	Bill Parry's Stuttering Links
		Stuttering (sometimes called "stammering") is a specific kind of disfluency, in which the flow of speech tends to be involuntarily disrupted by forceful closures of the mouth or larynx, by repetitions or prolongations of sounds and syllables, or by hesitations or delays in making voiced sounds.
		Stuttering generally involves an excessive amount of effort, force, and struggle in the attempt to speak.
