The Three Dimensions of Stuttering · Neurology, Behaviour and Emotion

This second edition presents revised and updated information on the neurophysiological foundations of fluency and dysfluency. The text begins with a history of neurophysiologic bases of both emotion and stuttering, and presents an overview of historical and contemporary knowledge concerning those areas and structures of the central nervous system contributing to internal emotional responses, external manifestations of those responses, and the interconnections between emotional centres, learning and the initiation and fine motor control of speech.
