Intended for speech therapists, students and people who stutter interested in self-help, this small volume provides advice on employing controversial neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) therapy principles and what the author terms "neuro-semantic" practices and tools to treat stuttering. The volume begins with an overview of the origins of stuttering and examines the psychological blocks and stress triggers that NLP practitioners believe are key to effected speech. The work includes numerous case studies and practical exercises. Bodenhamer is an independent neuro-linguistic programming therapist. This is a reprint of the 2004 edition.
