From the Author
The following review appeared in "The Speak Easy Newsletter", Spring 1998 (Vol. 18, No.1; 233 Concord Dr., Paramus, NJ 07652). The review was written by Bob Gathman, MA-SLP.

As indicated in its title, "Stuttering: Science, Therapy & Practice" is divided into three main sections. The reader can focus on the section that interests him/her the most. Mr. Kehoe gives references to books and journals if the reader wishes to delve more deeply into the scientific aspect of stuttering. The book includes practical issues, numerous resources (organizations, books, World Wide Web sites), flooding you with ideas to try. There are chapters covering computers and electronic devices, stuttering therapy programs, successful stuttering stories, books and journals on stuttering, conditions that increase/decrease stuttering, and many more areas too numerous to mention here.
In the section on "Stuttering Therapy Programs," Mr. Kehoe devotes 11 pages describing current programs from childhood through adult (including the cost of some), and ending with psychological self-therapy. This section follows with three pages under the subhead, "Effectiveness of Stuttering Therapies," in which Mr. Kehoe gives a candid, yet polite appraisal of the current therapies on the market. He does not recommend any of them, but encourages readers to thoroughly investigate a therapy program, considering needs and goals before committing oneself.
"Stuttering: Science, Therapy & Practice" is a 158-page, meticulously-fashioned masterpiece which gives a comprehensive description of what stuttering is, and many of the adaptive and unadaptive ways of dealing with it. On the cover page, under the book's title, Mr. Kehoe calls it, "The Most Complete Book About Stuttering." If it isn't, it certainly comes close to it.
I found the video "Computers and Electronic Devices for Stuttering" riveting. It was an hour well-spent. In the video, Mr. Kehoe describes the three devices Casa Futura Technologies manufactures. You can get a copy of "Stuttering: Science, Therapy & Practice" [right here from Amazon!]. Believe me, it's worth the effort to do so.
"About the title" may belong to another edition of this title.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
