Description

The purpose of this report is to examine the assessment of the results of stuttering therapy from the behavior therapeutic point of view. When we try to assess the results of stuttering therapy, we must confirm the fact that the changes of both stuttering behavior and other aspects of stuttering occurred in the treatment situation should be generalized to diverse situations and maintained over time. The recent trends of assessment of the results obtained by stuttering therapy are as follows: (1) To assess not only observable stuttering but also communicative attitudes of stutterers. (2) To introduce the covert assessment in addition to the overt assessment. (3) To introduce the qualitative assessment in addition to the quantitative assessment. The problems to be left for future research are as follows: (1) Assessment of the results of stuttering therapy should not be treated by itself, but be considered in connection with the techniques adopted for stuttering therapy. (2) Reliable and valid scale for assessing communicative attitudes should be developed quickly. (3) In short, assessment of the results of stuttering therapy is to ascertain the generalization and maintenance of therapy effects attained. Accordingly, the stuttering therapy program intended for generalization and maintenance, from the first time, is necessary to be adopted. In case of stutterers whose primary target is attitude modification, the techniques of attitude modification, such as systematic desensitization, assertion training and Morita therapy, which can be regarded as one of the behavior therapy, should be adopted.
