Inspired by Mr. Wordsworth’s philosophy, our goal for the revised edition of this book is to provide students with an understanding of how the past informs our present understanding of stuttering. Our hope is that by honoring both, we will create a bright future of promise for people who stutter and the clinicians and researchers who are their allies. Initially developed over 30 years ago, the first three editions of this book bore the same title; the first two were edited by the late Dr. Richard F. Curlee and the last was co-edited by Dr. Curlee and Dr. Edward G. Conture. Dr. Curlee was a broad-minded clinician and scholar, whose wide and deep knowledge of stuttering was the catalyst for bringing together a diverse set of contributors in those earlier editions of this book. Walking in the footsteps of Dr. Curlee, we believe and hope that this fourth edition is true to the notion, as Wordsworth proposed, that the discoveries of the past are the bedrock of the present and the inspiration for our future explorations into the nature and treatment of stuttering. Beginning with basic facts and theories, the chapter contents transition to describe the key factors that likely contribute to the emergence and development of stuttering. This content sets the stage for subsequent chapters on the comprehensive evaluation and treatment of stuttering and related fluency disorders across the lifespan. We received contributions from among the best and brightest academicians, clinicians, and researchers in the field of stuttering and related disorders. Their names and reputations speak for themselves, but it is the collective wisdom and experience of each one of these authors that makes the whole of the book greater than the sum of its parts. Each chapter has been thoroughly edited and reviewed by the co-editors to ensure that the material is as accessible as possible to both students and instructors alike. Some of the areas covered in this book may be on the frontiers of some readers’ knowledge, but rest assured all represent active, current, and important topics that need to be included in any modern-day, comprehensive discussion of the nature and treatment of stuttering. Last, but not least, we acknowledge our friends and loved ones who often had to share our attention and time “with the book.” Their advice, suggestions, and support along the way have been invaluable. That said, whatever flaws that remain are totally the editors’ doing.We remain humbled by the enormity of the landscape our chapter authors have helped us traverse, while at the same time remain excited by the positive impact this work will have on the future of people who stutter and their families. As Daniel Goleman, of emotional intelligence fame, has suggested, “Nothing important gets done alone.” Nothing more truly describes the combined efforts of chapter authors, book co-editors, and Thieme staff in the development of this book!
