The Origin and Treatment of Stammering is a book written by George Andrew Lewis in 1900. The book is a comprehensive study of the causes, symptoms, and treatment of stammering, a speech disorder that affects the fluency and rhythm of speech. Lewis, who was a stammerer himself, draws on his personal experience, as well as his medical training, to provide a detailed analysis of the condition. The book is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the nature and causes of stammering, while the second part focuses on its treatment. In the first part, Lewis explores the physiological and psychological factors that contribute to stammering, including the role of heredity, nervousness, and emotional stress. He also examines the different types of stammering, such as spasmodic, articulatory, and tonal, and provides case studies to illustrate each one.In the second part of the book, Lewis outlines various treatment methods for stammering, including breathing exercises, vocal training, and psychological therapy. He also discusses the use of drugs and surgical procedures, although he cautions against their indiscriminate use. Throughout the book, Lewis emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach to treating stammering, one that takes into account both the physical and psychological aspects of the condition.Overall, The Origin and Treatment of Stammering is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding and treating this speech disorder. It provides a comprehensive overview of the condition and offers practical advice for those seeking to overcome it. Despite being written over a century ago, the book remains relevant today and is still widely read by speech therapists and researchers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
