In 1957 Joseph Sheehan gathered a panel of
people who stutter together for the ASHA convention in Cleveland, Ohio.
Fred Murray ran into Sheehan in the hall and
asked if he was recording the panel. Sheehan said “No, but if you can arrange it, go ahead.”
Murray scrambled and with $100
- f his own money, found a person
to record it!

SLIDE 7 1968 - Lee Edward Travis raises concerns about the direction he sees the field going in relation to stuttering after the 50’s and 60’s - “Are we hearing that the stutterer can't tell us anything at all about his
- wn stuttering? . . . Is this why we
are now enjoying a kind of therapy that minimizes feelings, motives, relationship issues and emphasizes acts? . . . . treating human beings
- mechanicalistically. . . . . .
Are we losing sight of the person?”
