Abstract

The authors studied 22 stutterers being treated in group psychotherapy for 18 months. Most of the stutterers exhibited passive-dependent personality traits which prevented them from recognizing feelings and expressions of anger. The authors' treatment aimed indirectly at the stuttering symptom by showing the patients its defensive nature. Passive-dependent hostility then decreased and stuttering diminished.
