Abstract
Among the diverse speech and language disorders we work with as clinicians, fluency disorders seem to maintain a sense of ambiguity and challenge. We have certainly made great strides in understanding various potential causes of stuttering; nevertheless, a definitive notion of its etiology continues to elude researchers. By its very nature, stuttering is a condition of inherent contrasts. It involves surface features that are easily accessible for measurement and analysis, but is almost always complicated by a vast underlying set of emotions that are more difficult to label and organize but that are critical to our assessment and treatment. Sheehan (1970, p. 14) aptly described overt.
