[Applies phoniatry. III. Stuttering and Cluttering (author's transl)].
Stuttering is caused by many factors, and consequential verbal communication may be abolished partially or even totally. Medical management should not concern itself solely with the speech problem, and the individual problem and behaviour of each patient should be considered. Unlike stuttering, cluttering does not mean poor communication, but again in its treatment, individuality must be considered. Treatment is based on frequent tuition of a slower speech and of control of the impulsive personality traits.
