Stammering, its cause and cure

"Stammering, its cause and cure" by Benjamin Nathaniel Bogue is a scientific exploration of speech impediments, told through the experiences of the author. The book begins by recounting Bogue’s own early struggles with stammering, depicting his childhood filled with frustration and unsuccessful attempts at finding a cure. He portrays the emotional toll of being mocked and the anxiety of public speaking, highlighting his lifelong quest for a solution. Bogue suggests that stammering arises not just from nervousness but from a disconnect between thought and speech, a theory that sets the stage for his method, which developed from his life struggles.
