Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) focuses on those whose fears, anxieties and phobias cause them to stutter or have other difficulties in speaking. Once they find their stuttering is not a physical condition, nor is it out of their control, many appear to be able to achieve fluency. In this extended description of NLP, that can also be used as a self-study guide, practitioner Bodenhamer provides a step-by-step description of the process. Bodenhamer addresses the origins of stuttering in the mind, the processes and methods of learning to think differently, and techniques to use to make the changes stick. He includes a number of case studies. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
