Ich denke jedoch, dass du es geschafft hast, dass nun auch ein Nicht-Stotterer das Problem besser verstehen kann.<br /><br />Dem Herrn Georges Hermes würde ich dein Interview allerdings auch dringend empfehlen. Ich finde es schade dass diese zwei Artikel, die ja das selbe Thema behandeln so unterschiedlich und wiedersprüchlich sind.<br /><br />Georges Hermes:„Wir behandeln aber erst,<br />wenn die Ursache abgeklärt ist“<br /><br />Theoretisch müssten die dann ja meistens ganz schön lange suchen. Die Ursache ist nämlech NICHT fast immer "in der Psyche zu suchen". Möglich ist eine psychische Störung die durch das Stottern hervorgerufen wurde (negative Erfahrungen in der Schule, auf der Arbeit etc) und nicht umgekehrt. Natürlich gibt es auch einige Fälle wo das zutrifft, doch die meisten Stotterer stottern seit sie sprechen können und sind psychisch völlig normal.Marie-Clairenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12602489.post-50403251421937658472009-10-21T17:39:52.787+02:002009-10-21T17:39:52.787+02:00It is on the top of the page of the interview with...It is on the top of the page of the interview with Hild and Hermes.Tom Weidighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02084153394215001999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12602489.post-57444297752282195062009-10-21T16:35:32.856+02:002009-10-21T16:35:32.856+02:00Tom - Your PDF version on Google Docs includes the...Tom - Your PDF version on Google Docs includes the first page but not the continuation on page 27.

Should we stop saying ...Also from the BSA website:<br /><br />Should we stop saying "we don't know the cause of stammering"?<br /><br />At the 2008 Oxford Disfluency Conference, Anne Smith of Purdue University suggested that we know a great deal about the factors that cause stammering. She proposed a short statement to capture and communicate our knowledge.<br /><br />The context was a discussion of the often negative perception of speech pathology as a profession and specifically, the perceived lack of efficacy of treatments for stuttering. Anne commented:<br /><br />It seems to me that we contribute to the perception that we have little knowledge about stuttering or how to treat it when we state, "the cause of stuttering is unknown." The statement can be interpreted by the listener (and often is interpreted this way, I think) to indicate that all causes which have been discussed historically are equally probable - for example, the idea that an early, frightening experience causes stuttering.<br /><br />In fact, we know a great deal about the factors that cause stuttering. We don't know precisely every detail explaining the development of stuttering, but we don't know every detail concerning the onset of Parkinson's disease. This fact doesn't stop scientists and clinicians from stating what is known about the causes of Parkinson's disease.<br /><br />Anne suggested we need a short statement that could capture our knowledge about the cause of stuttering and communicate it clearly. She attempted to make such a statement at the meeting:<br /><br /> "Stuttering is a neurodevelopmental disorder involving many different brain systems active for speech - including language, motor, and emotional networks. Each infant is born with a genetic makeup that contributes to his or her probability of stuttering, however whether stuttering will develop depends upon experience. To learn to speak fluently, a child's brain must develop many different neural circuits, and these circuits must interact in very precise and rapid ways. Stuttering emerges in childhood as a symptom than the brain's neural circuits for speech are not being wired normally. For this reason, early intervention is critical, because by shaping the child's experience, we can affect the ongoing wiring process in the child's rapidly developing brain. The longer the stuttering symptoms persist in early childhood, the more difficult it is for us to change the brain's wiring, and stuttering becomes a chronic, usually lifelong problem."<br /><br />July 2008Norbert @ BSAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08777494290357326626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12602489.post-39829544338749955002009-10-21T13:02:35.158+02:002009-10-21T13:02:35.158+02:00Your part of the article is definitely very inform...Your part of the article is definitely very informative and useful!<br />Bad to read though through the comments of Jean Marc Hild that the methods of Centre audiophonologique and Centre de logopedie have not improved since I visited these 10 and 20 years ago as a kid and teenager...
