“…Evidence appeared in the mid-20th century suggesting that stuttering is a psychosomatic disorder [9][10][11]. This conception was revived and developed by Smith 2017 and Tarkowski 2018, who considers stuttering in systemic terms.…”

Aim of the studyPurpose: The objective of this research was to determine the level of motivation for stutter treatment and its dependence on age, gender, and the conception of stuttering.Subject or material and methodsMethods: In our study, the Conception of Stuttering Scale (CSS) and the Motivation for Stutter Therapy Scale (MSTS) were used. Participants: The research involved 297 participants, 81 women and 216 men, all aged from 18 to 54 years. All participants had started to stutter before the age of 7, they all had stutter symptoms (confirmed by an experienced speech therapist), thought themselves to be stutterers, and had undergone at least one therapy.ResultsOverall, the respondents were likely to consider stuttering a speech impediment, logoneurosis, communication disorder, or an illness. They mostly supported the idea of comprehensively diagnosing stuttering and they did not have a uniform conception of stutter therapy. They were most likely to opt for therapies based on speech practice or psychotherapy. Their motivation for speech therapy was mostly moderate. Motivation for stutter therapy was markedly higher in women than in men.. A significant positive correlation was revealed between speech practice and non-acceptance of stuttering.DiscussionStuttering persons have differing conceptions of the etiology, basis, diagnosis, and treatment of stuttering. Motivation for stutter therapy in adults is moderate and is not associated with their concept of stuttering.ConclusionsStuttering persons have differing conceptions of the etiology, basis, diagnosis, and treatment of stuttering. Motivation for stutter therapy in adults is moderate and is not associated with their concept of stuttering.

“…In reviewing the literature on stuttering, various authorities have put forward a concept of stuttering as a sub-clinical aphasia. Travis 21 expounded a theory of cerebral dominance, Karlin 12 , a psychosomatic theory of a delay in myelinization, West 25 wrote of stuttering and epilepsy and Eisenson 7 , a perseverative theory that stressed a neurological basis for stuttering. Attention has been briefly focused above on these writers in the field of aphasia who make reference to stuttering-like symptoms, and, on authorities in the field of stuttering who, in turn, stress neurological factors.…”

An investigation of some aspects of stuttering-like speech in adult dysphasic subjects

Some dimensions of stuttering-like symptoms of five dysphasic patients were considered and compared to several aspects of stuttering which are generally well-known and documented. The nature and amount of the dysfluencies of dysphasia were examined, and, although the amount of non-fluency appeared to justify the label of stuttering, the nature of the dysfluencies was much like that observed in normal speakers and not that considered to be the distinguishing features of stuttering. The loci of the dysfluencies in the sequence of dysphasic speech were investigated and the majority of subjects were found to experience more difficulty on the function words of language rather than on the content or lexical words which precipitate dysfluency in stutterers. All subjects experienced the greatest difficulty on words in the initial position in the sentence as is found with stutterers. For most of the subjects the frequency of dysfluency was highest on longer words and it was observed that subjects generally experienced more difficulty on consonants than on vowels. Under conditions of propositionality it seemed that there was some increase in the frequency and severity of the dysfluencies of dysphasics while the adaptation task yielded divergent results.
