From The Inside Flap:

Everyone who stutters, whether only slightly or so severely that oral communication is almost impossible, will find solid hope for relief in Ann Irwin's clear, easy-to-follow guide to her system of therapy. Irwin is a speech therapist working with all age levels, who received her graduate training at the University of Iowa's world-reknowned school of speech. She demonstrates in SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT OF STUTTERING that a determined stutterer can tackle his or her own problem, and by diligent effort, significantly alleviate it. The author banishes many of the popular misconceptions about this frustrating afflicition, and describes her system of "Easy Stuttering," which relaxes the organs of speech and eliminates the agonizing involuntary repetition of sounds that both stutterer and listener find so painful. This unique, step-by-step method of self-help for the stutterer is clearly and carefully outlined. There are chapters presenting a simplified version of her therapy for children, along with helpful advice for their parents, and reports written by many of Irwin's own patients testifying to the heartening progress they have made. SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT OF STUTTERING is a book that will be welcomed by the millions of Americans afflicted with this annoying speech disability, and by their families, their friends, and professional helpers as well.
