Today's Stuttering Quote (03.05.2013)

Needless to say, each stutterer must from the beginning of therapy accept the responsibility for his problem. This implies self-therapy which is essential. (Stromsta)

Today's Stuttering Quote (26.04.2013)

A valuable precondition for a successful therapy is the

deep inner conviction of the stutterer in the manageability

of his disorder, combined with a fighting spirit and a readiness to undergo hardships and deprivations if needed—

hopelessness, pessimism and passivity being the deadliest

foes to self-improvement. (Freund).
