Perceptions of benefits of speech therapy, success of therapy across clinical settings, reasons for returning to therapy, client-clinician relationships, and clinicians' competency were assessed in 57 participants (47 men, 10 women; M age = 34 yr.) trying a new therapy. A majority of respondents had cumulatively five or more years in therapy and at least two stuttering therapies. Respondents rated university or hospital settings as more successful than services in public schools. 70% of the respondents noted difficulty communicating basic needs; they blamed themselves for inability to maintain posttherapeutic gains while perceiving their clinicians to be competent and attentive--although 47% of the respondents had minimal to no contact with their therapist after therapy.
在 57 名尝试新疗法的参与者（47 名男性，10 名女性；平均年龄 = 34 岁）中，评估了他们对言语治疗益处、治疗在不同临床环境中的成功、重返治疗的原因、医患关系以及临床医生能力的看法。大多数受访者累计接受了五年或以上的治疗，至少接受了两种口吃治疗。受访者认为大学或医院环境比公立学校的服务更成功。70%的受访者表示沟通基本需求有困难；他们将无法维持治疗后效果归咎于自己，同时认为他们的临床医生有能力且专注——尽管 47%的受访者在治疗后与治疗师的联系很少或没有。
