Maybe, I would like to see more cognitive stuff on a more regular basis across the lifespan. Working solely on speech production isn't "bad" therapy. There's disagreement in the field as to what therapy should look like. I have my own bent, but others have theirs. As of now their isn't a great deal of empirical data supporting the usefulness of cognitive strategies in therapy, and so there are those who say that the cognitive therapies should not be used. Which often baffles those of us who stutter. There is a growing literature base, but we need more. A publication I'm working on and will hopefully be submitted soon (I'm waiting on feedback from a co-author) used both cognitive and fluency shaping approaches. But we need more data!! (So, iciaguy, get your butt in gear and collect some data!!)
