The Role of Variability A. Packman, Australia
in the Reduction
of Stuttering
J. Van Doom, and M. Onslow, Lidcombe, New South Wales,
Oral Presentation: 15 min.
Speech pattern changes, such as speech-rate reduction, syllable-timed speech, and prolonged speech can reduce stuttering. Yet at present there is no specific and comprehensive explanation for these effects. The studies reported in this presentation explore the possibility that acoustic changes are involved in the effects of the above speaking conditions on stuttering. Three related studies support the idea that variability of vowel duration may be critical when the above speech pattern changes reduce stuttering.

and Growth of a Speech Pathologist

Effectiveness in therapy is very often associated with correct assessment, systematic intervention procedures, objective measurement, evaluation of therapy results, updating one’s own background knowledge about the problem, etc. We believe that the personality of the speech therapist and the relationship that grows between him/her and the patient during therapy, are equally important to achieve effective therapy results, especially in the treatment of stutterers.

Psychology
De Pinte, Belgium
Oral Presentation: I5 min.
For many years, disfluency has been an issue of interest in many disciplines and a lot of theories and treatment programs can be found in the literature. In psychoanalysis, it was Adler who particularly interested us and we wanted to know if The Individual Psychology could throw light on the problem of stuttering. We will illustrate the main points of this theory and the psychoanalytic treatment and talk about the application of this theory in the treatment of stutterers.

and L. Boves, Nijmegen, The Netherlands
Oral Presentation: 15 min. In a previous study Peters and Boves (1988) observed that in perceptually fluent speech utterances stutterers use unusual types of subglottal air pressure build-up patterns before starting phonation more often than nonstuttering controls. In this paper aerodynamic and phonatory processes in the dysfluent speech utterances of stutterers are analyzed. In disfluent utterances the same deviant patterns of subglottal air pressure build-up can be distinguished. However, there is a much higher percentage of deviant Psg types and also the aberrations seem to be more excessive. The type of stuttering behavior is only partly related to Psg type.
