1-INTRODUCTION:
Hi All,
I am Ranjeet Kumar I sent an e-mail subjecting "USEFUL BOOKS FOR STUTTERING TREATMENT" few
months ago to this & many other groups stating "COMPREHENSIVE STUTTERING THERAPY" WWW.stuttering.ch
as THE BEST amongst all the books of the list because I realy noticed significant improvement
in my speaking ability & I mentioned that in my mail & I hoped you guys will get maximum
benefit from my knowledge & from my experience.
2-DESCRIPTION & QUALITIES OF THE BOOK "COMPREHENSIVE STUTTERING THERAPY" :-
The book consists of 3 Parts;
1st part: Theoretical Description of Stuttering:- It gives description of stuttering phenomenon;
physical act of the muscles of Valsalva Maneuver & how stuttering affects on mental attitude of a stutterer.
In other words it provides a "STUTTERING ICEBERG" & a "FLUENCY ICEBERG" both has a visible part &
an invisible part consists of 11 elements in total including irregular breating, tendency to
stand still(avoidance of body language), speaking in low voice, resistance to change by unconsious
mind etc. in stuttering iceberg & also counterparts of fluency iceberg & how they interact with each other
hence speech are given in the book so that a stutter can know & address each & every element of stuttering phenomenon for long lasting
fluency as stuttering obviously cannot be effectively and durably eliminated if hidden elements are
ignored. Effective stuttering therapy should consider and address the entire stuttering phenomenon
as it is done in this book.
2nd part: consists 2 set of exercises 1st [VALSALVA CONTROL] & 2nd [CHANGING PERCEPTIONS & FEELINGS]
1st [VALSALVA CONTROL] therapy s at preventing the Valsalva Maneuver from interfacing with
speech mechanism of a stutterer. It consists of 10 very good exercises addressing for examples;
1- Relaxation of the muscles of your larynx through 'Jacobson's Progressive Relaxation technique'.
Stutterers have a tendency to involuntarily tense the muscles of their larynx and this causes
stuttering blocks. Relaxing the muscles of the larynx is not easy because they are difficult to
locate and you will be taught how to relax them properly.
2- How to breathe in a way that promotes fluent speech. Stutterers often have irregular breathing
patterns and you will learn how to breathe in a relaxing way and how to promote fluency by
properly synchronizing breathing with speech.
3- How to emphasize the vibration of your larynx and how this will prevent stuttering blocks from
occurring & as well as other techniques directly addressing the speech mechanism.
4- How to avoid triggering the contraction of the muscles of your larynx, mouth, lips and tongue.
5- How to prevent stress from interfering with your fluency.
Including daily exercises of phonation,voiced speech & very affecive Demosthenes' technique it is most
effective technique in the book, which was developed 2,300 years ago.
2nd [CHANGING PERCEPTIONS & FEELINGS] therapy s at to acheive durable & total control of
stuttering by changing all the elements of stuttering iceberg to fluency iceberg.
1- How to positively alter the perceptions you have about yourself, your stuttering and other
people.
2- Anticipations about speech and communication with others.
3- The importance of eye contact & how to imply this.
4- How to deal with your emotions and prevent them from affecting your fluency.
5- How to speak without resorting to word substitution or fillers.
6- How to discard the hidden intentions that unconsciously sabotage your efforts to become fluent.
3rd part : Therapy for children; consists of direct & indirect therapies for children.
The Book is prepared by an ex-stutterer Mr.Phillip J.Roberts from his personal experience.The
book consist of only useful material of atleast 20 books for stuttering treatment & book consists
of 152 pages.
The 2 famous books used in this book's preparation are:-
1- Self-Therapy for the stutterer-by Malcolm Fraser
2- William D. Parry naming “Understanding & Controlling Stuttering: A Comprehensive New Approach
based on the Valsalva Hypothesis” 2nd Edition.
"I think & according to the author the daily exercises given in the book CURE stuttering problem
for good after months of daily exercising."
QUALITIES OF THE BOOK :-
The book addresses almost all the unique behaviors of a stutterers & provides ways to solve them.
I mean a stutterer tends to focus on the gut feeling into his/ her body while speaking in difficult sitauations
& when we expect stuttering or blocks, speak very slow trying to hide from others the stuttering & blocks,
feel why do we speak quite fluent on one day & completly opposite on another day etc. & many other unique
aspects of stutterers' behaviour the book provides alomost everything; what & how to do change these behaviors &
how to put youself on the track to behave like non-stutterer which is essential for long lasting success of a stuttering
therapy.
MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE OF THE BOOK "COMPREHENSIVE STUTTERING THERAPY":-
HOW & WHAT I DID :-
1--I got the book around 2 years ago & started reading the book after 2-3 months of getting it.
When I read the book 1st time I got the impression that the book would be very usefull as it addresses almost all the elmenets of the stuttering problem
& gives the ways to address all the aspects of stuttering then I came across the biblography which consists
of atleast 20 books & many other resources from which the material was taken for the book, all that
shows the book is prepared after real hard work & observation which made me to say unconsciuously
"Man! u have got the soluation of your life's the biggest problem." I was so happy that I can not tell
u in words".
2-- I read the book 1st time but did not follow any of the exercises then after 3 months after getting the
book I started only doing daily exercises only because I had many others things which needed my concentration
as well & I had the impression that I will improve my speech following only daily exercises but I did
not noticed any significant improvement in my speech in 1st 2 & half months then I got frustrated
& I started to have doubt on the usefullness of the book's therapy & got frustated alot then I again
decided to search internet for other ways to solve my problem, then I came across one of the independent websites
(http://www.stuttering.net/stuttering-therapies.html#stuttering%20self%20therapy) based on stuttering &
there is mentioned that the book "COMPREHENSIVE STUTTERING THERAPY" is THE BEST self stuttering
therapy available on internet & at on another website about the book & also came to know about the many
other usefull & cheap books for stuttering treatment which I have mentioned in my mail with
list of the books & tips & also came to know about the groups of stutterers on internet & came to about
many other ex-stutterers then I got the impression that "There is definitely the way to get the BLESSING OF
FLUENCY GOD but also realised that in order to satisfy the fluency god I need to worship & worship hard
beleiving that he will bless me one day.
Thererafter I decided to go for the same therapy again & decided to follow blindly because of the information given on the
website ( http://www.stuttering.net/stuttering-therapies.html#stuttering%20self%20therapy )
and then started reading the book "COMPREHENSIVE STUTTERING THERAPY" again & I felt that the reason
why I did not notice significant improvement was I had not been following anything except daily exercises
& also that I was not following the all the rules of the daily exercises properly & also that I could
not integrate the the exercises & more wrongly I had my own (wrong) views about the importance & usefullness
of the exercies before that 2nd reading of the book.
After completing the 2nd reading I started doing the daily exercises again & after 1 month of proper daily exercises
& following other material in the book I started to feel genuine improvement into my speaking ability. I wanted to
continue the exercises but could not continue due to sudden happening of personal problems all started because
of my stutter & I had to concentrate on that then so could not continue the exercises at all.
3- Before reading the book 1st time I used to feel a big burden (depression) on my mind but when I read the book 1st time
I really had my depression level very low about future challenges,felt lot lighter mentaly becuase of the contents
of the book are so good & full of knowledge about the problem of stuttering.
When I 1st read the book I did not belive many of the things written in the book but as
long as I kept on following the therpay & observed then I started to belive that each & every line has it's
own value for fluency all is needed to believe to follow it thoroughly & the key is to integrate
& follow them properly & diligently.
4 - When I say my speech improved that does not mean I was not stuttering or blocking at all...no I was
but considerably less than I do now or used to do before the using the therapy, my
physical/ vocal problem was solved around 50%-60% after the 3-1/2 months of "IRREGULAR"
practice of daily exercises & few other techniques given in the book but my mental attitude was
still the same because I still was not following the ways given in the book to change mental
attitude.
2ndly I was speaking with lot ease / lesser fight inside to speak, lesser scanning ahead for
fear words, lesser use of substitutes & could speak without starters even when I was not using the
techniques given in the book for addressing these specific aspects of stuttering but still could feel
the difference in the sense that my intelligibility increased in my speech & Voice became
louder automatically & more importantly my behaviour was changed & now still it is, I mean I am taking
everything as challenge not as worry or depression because now I know there is way to fluency.
Not only I had my speech better but my communication skills got better, for example my listening
skills improved because of lesser mental scanning for fearded words etc.
5- When I had improved speech after months of exercies I was enjoying every minute of my life, I got reall
me from inside who is so fast mentally,lot better than 100s of fluents around me, Who is so talktive &
intelligent that everybody who met me was just going crazy for me, my health improved a lot
because I knew that I have my life's biggest problme solved,became so confident that I could handle
8-10 normal fluent speaker at a time with success, these feelings have no value I just could do anything to get them.
According to author more than 90% of (stutterers) users of the book have noticed improvement in their
speech ,which I come to know when I was not feeling any improvement in my speech & was
doubting on his book's usefullness & 2nd thing he said that improvement will be slow but stable as I have experienced it.
6- The price of the book is $34.95, I think the price is not that high as compared to the benefits provides to the users.The
information is invaulabe as we know that we can do anything to get rid of the stuttering
monster, so I think you must get it as soon as possible.
7- There will be few guys who will be thinking that the author is not a Certified Speech Pathologist
which may create doubts on the usefulness of the book but you should also take another thing
into consideration is that the author is an ex-stutterer & has put his own experiences into
the book (in my opinion it is more important) after reading many books & following many exercises etc.
8- Now I stutter as I used to before any therapy but still now I have no tension & negative feeling for my
speech because I know there is a way to achieve dream of mine as it is of any stutterer.
Why I have relapsed : Because I left doing exercises 9-10 months ago when I started to feel the
difference and more importantly I did not ulter many of the specific stutter behaviour which is key to get long lasting fluency
as mentioned in the book that if indirect aspects of the stuttering phenomenon is left
unchecked, the stutterer is very likely to relapse after a few weeks or months.
Now I m willing to re-start daily exerises but can not find the place to do so.
FEW SUGGESTIONS / IDEAS:-
1- You guys will see in coming days what I have been for you guys, I just want you guys to be
positive for the fluency & keep working for the betterment of yourself & for other that gives immensely great
positive feelings.
2- It is just rabbish to think that there is no way we can be fluent, it is wrong, be positive.
Many have became fluent in the past & same we can be as well.
I can give u the e-mail addresses of those guys & other guys who have get rid of
stutter following other therapies.
3- I know the importance of my messages to the group that is why I really think alot before
posting any thing on the group because I know my one e-mail will be read by 100s of persons
& will/can affect 1000s that is the reason I worked on this post for weeks.
4- Now I have many other books for stuttering treatment & have information about many other books'
usefullness but still I can say with confidence that this the best of all of the books for vocal
improvement of speech for a stutterer.
For quick access to me mail me ranjeet_advani81@yahoo.com
I hope this information will help you in your journey towards fluency.
Wish you best of luck!!!
