Stammerers and their social adjustment as shown by means of eight case studies

<p>The purpose of this study was to observe intensively, by means of complete case-histories, the general and specific conditions, past and present, causing a lack of social adjustment in eight stammers. The subjects were stammerers from the Stockton High School who showed by examination that they were socially maladjusted.</p><p> The study aimed to discover whether traits and abilities present in the stammerers, as represented by their interests and achievements, contributed to their lack of social adjustment; and whether, by a process of reeducation in the light of their history and present condition, their social adjustment could be made.</p><p> Assuming oral stammering to be a symptom which indicated the individual unable to make adjustment to the group because of some emotional attitudes or conflicts, a further aim was to help the subjects of this study to improve their speech with the hope that they would thereby be able to make a more satisfactory social adjustment.</p>
