The University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM, 01-JAN-09, Amy Neel -- "The two chapters I read absolutely fill a need in my course. This is the first chapter I've seen that really brings together all the latest information on neuroimaging and stuttering. The summary chapter does a wonderful job of finding commonalities among current approaches to stuttering treatment."-Amy Neel, The University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM Saint Xavier University, Chicago, IL, Karen Czarnik -- "Looking at the table of contents this text covers a variety of areas that are not currently covered in the text I use. In my course, I generally need to add information on specific approaches to intervention and on pharmacology/neurophysiology which are contained in this text."-Karen Czarnik, Saint Xavier University, Chicago, IL
