1Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL, USA.
Abstract:
This article reviews definitions of self-help and support groups, describes some basic views that speech-language pathologists and self-help groups have of each other, then comments on ways in which professionals are relating to self-help groups. These comments are based on answers to a questionnaire distributed to a sample of speech-language pathologists who interact with self-help groups. It is recommended that speech-language pathologists should relate to the self-help movement in stuttering as consultants.
